What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Hemel Hempstead?

Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.
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 Hemel Hempstead

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 Hemel Hempstead: questions

Can I get a price for Hemel Hempstead 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.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Hemel Hempstead?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Do you cover Hemel Hempstead?

Yes. Hemel Hempstead is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including HP2, HP3 and HP1. 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 HP2?

At a survey in HP2 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.

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.

Is a steel door the right choice for a row of lock-ups?

It can be, particularly where a stiffer curtain appeals for garages that are opened less often. Every steel door in our price list is electric, though, so each garage needs a power supply near its box. Where lock-ups have no power, manual aluminium doors may be more practical. We can survey and price a whole row together.
