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

Think about whether battery backup is worth adding, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.
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.
Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.

How does it work in Swansea?

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 Swansea

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), is in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

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 in Wales before it starts.

Steel roller garage doors in Swansea: questions

Do you charge more for Swansea than other towns in West Glamorgan?

No. Guide prices are the same for Swansea as for anywhere else we cover in West Glamorgan. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

How much do steel roller garage doors cost in Swansea?

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 Swansea as elsewhere we cover.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Swansea?

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 Swansea garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Swansea 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 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.
