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

Ask to see the security certificate if resistance to forced entry matters, because steel on its own doesn't make a door security-rated.
Think about whether battery backup is worth adding, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.
Measure the width of your opening, because our steel price list covers singles up to 2.4 m and doubles of 3.0 to 4.0 m, and other widths are priced on survey.
Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.

Rules that apply in Kirkwall

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Steel roller garage doors in Kirkwall: questions

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Kirkwall?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Can I get a price for Kirkwall 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Kirkwall?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Kirkwall. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

What do you check at a survey in KW15?

At a survey in KW15 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.

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.

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.
