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

Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.
Compare steel with insulated aluminium if a warmer garage is a priority, as it's the foam-filled lath that reduces heat loss.
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.

How does it work in Liverpool?

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 Liverpool

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.

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.

Steel roller garage doors in Liverpool: questions

How much do steel roller garage doors cost in Liverpool?

Our guide price for steel roller garage doors is from £1,345 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Liverpool as elsewhere we cover.

Can you remove my old garage door in Liverpool?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Liverpool 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 the survey in Liverpool 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.

What do you check at a survey in L3?

At a survey in L3 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.

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.
