How garage roller doors work, and what to ask for

Roller doors open straight up, so cars can park close to the door and nothing swings into the driveway. Up-and-over doors can usually be replaced with a roller door without changing the opening. Roller doors can be fitted behind the opening, in the opening or on the face, depending on the space above.

Domestic garage doors are covered by the same powered door safety standard as commercial doors. Insulated aluminium laths help garages used as workshops, gyms or utility spaces stay warmer.

Covering Essex

We cover Essex from Southend-on-Sea to Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford, with 22 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Shutters on a house: planning

For houses in England some small external changes fall under permitted development, but flats and maisonettes do not have the same rights, and listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 directions restrict changes to a property's appearance. If any of these apply, check with your council before ordering.

Questions about garage roller doors in Essex

Are roller garage doors insulated?

Most are, with foam-filled aluminium laths. They are not as thermally efficient as a wall, but they make a real difference to a garage used as a workspace.

Can a roller door replace my up-and-over door?

Yes, usually without changing the opening. We check the headroom and side space at survey to choose the right fixing position.

How much headroom does a roller garage door need?

The box needs some space above the opening inside or outside the garage. Exact clearance depends on the door height and curtain, so we measure it at survey.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
