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

Find out whether there's a socket or fused spur near the box position, since every steel door we price is electric.
Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
Look at the brick or blockwork on each side of the opening, as the guide rails for a steel door need solid reveals to fix to.

Rules that apply in Thamesmead

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.

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Steel roller garage doors in Thamesmead: questions

Do you cover Thamesmead?

Yes. Thamesmead is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SE28, SE2 and SE18. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Thamesmead than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Thamesmead as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Can you remove my old garage door in Thamesmead?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Thamesmead 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.

What do you check at a survey in SE28?

At a survey in SE28 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

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.

Why are steel doors over 4 m wide priced on survey?

Our standard steel price list covers single openings up to 2.4 m and doubles of 3.0 to 4.0 m; other widths are priced on survey. A wider steel door needs the opening, lintel and fixing points checked individually before the right door can be specified, so we price it after the survey rather than from a table. For openings up to about 5.5 m, insulated aluminium doors have a set price band you can see online.
