Width, height and the headroom behind the lintel decide the door size; the survey in Rochdale checks all three, plus where the motor can be powered.

- Power cut: Every powered door has a manual release so it can be opened by hand. If the garage is your only way into the house, ask about battery backup.
- Safety devices: Powered doors need force limiting or a safety edge and must be set up and tested at installation. We hand over the instructions and a record of the settings.
- Planning: Replacing a garage door is not usually a planning matter, but listed buildings and conditions on newer estates can restrict changes, so check if unsure.

Frequently asked questions
Are roller garage doors insulated?
The doors we recommend use foam-filled aluminium laths, which reduce heat loss and noise compared with a single-skin steel up-and-over door.
How long does fitting take?
Most single doors are fitted in a day, including removing the old door and setting up the safety devices.
Is the survey free in Rochdale?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Rochdale are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Rochdale?
Possibly. Swapping a garage door in the same opening is not usually a planning matter, but some estates have conditions on front elevations and listed buildings need consent. We recommend checking with your local council first.
