What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Chelsea?

Think about whether battery backup is worth adding, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.
Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.
Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.

Rules that apply in Chelsea

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

Steel roller garage doors in Chelsea: questions

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Chelsea?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Can you remove my old garage door in Chelsea?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Chelsea address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Chelsea?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Chelsea garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Chelsea really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Can I repaint a steel roller door later?

When you order a new steel door, you can choose a RAL colour or woodgrain finish as a priced extra, and colours outside the manufacturer's range are priced on survey. If you're thinking of repainting the door years later, check the manufacturer's care guidance first, as their warranty terms for the door are set out in writing in your quote.

How do I open a steel roller door in a power cut?

Use the manual override, normally an internal crank or winding handle that turns the barrel by hand. Keep it somewhere you can find quickly. A steel curtain is heavy, so take your time and wind steadily. If you'd rather not crank it, battery backup keeps the door running for a limited number of cycles while the power is off.
