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

Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
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.
Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.

Steel roller garage doors in Westhoughton: questions

What do you check at a survey in BL5?

At a survey in BL5 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 you remove my old garage door in Westhoughton?

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

Do you charge more for Westhoughton than other towns in Greater Manchester?

No. Guide prices are the same for Westhoughton as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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.

How much do steel roller garage doors cost in Westhoughton?

Our guide price for steel roller garage doors is from £1,345 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Westhoughton as elsewhere we cover.

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.
