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

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.
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.

How does it work in Colne?

Once you accept, the fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer availability. If a new spur is needed, it's shown in the quote and fitted by a qualified electrician.

Rules that apply in Colne

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.

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Steel roller garage doors in Colne: questions

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

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.

Is the survey in Colne 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 Colne?

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 Colne garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in BB8?

At a survey in BB8 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.

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.
