What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Portsmouth?
- Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.
- Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
- Think about whether battery backup is worth adding, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.
- 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.

Steel roller garage doors in Portsmouth: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Portsmouth?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth?
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 Portsmouth garage so you can compare.
Do you cover Portsmouth?
Yes. Portsmouth is part of the area we cover in Hampshire, including PO5, PO1 and PO2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
What do you check at a survey in PO5?
At a survey in PO5 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.
Can I have a manual steel roller door?
The steel doors in our price list are electric, because a steel curtain is heavier than an aluminium one and the tubular motor does the lifting. If you want a hand-operated door, our manual doors use single-skin aluminium laths. Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician can fit a fused spur from an existing circuit, shown as a separate line in your quote; a new supply to a garage with no power is priced on survey.
