What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Leicester?
- 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.
- 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.
- Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.

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 Leicester: questions
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Leicester?
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.
Do you cover Leicester?
Yes. Leicester is part of the area we cover in Leicestershire, including LE1, LE4 and LE5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can you remove my old garage door in Leicester?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Leicester 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.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Leicester?
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.
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.
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.
