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

Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
Find out whether there's a socket or fused spur near the box position, since every steel door we price is electric.
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 Farnborough

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.

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 Farnborough: questions

Is the survey in Farnborough 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.

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

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 Farnborough garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Farnborough without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

What do you check at a survey in GU14?

At a survey in GU14 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.

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.

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.
