Rollaway Garage Doors Installations

Garage Door Installation Essex 

A garage door is more than the access point from which you can enter and exit your garage. It's also an essential part of the exterior fittings of your property which contributes to the overall appearance of the property, so it's important to consider the design as well as the practicality.

With 20 years of experience, you can count on Rollaway Garage Doors to provide you a huge variety of garage doors to suit every type of property. All of our doors are sourced from reputable manufacturers in the industry with diverse portfolios of quality products, including a range of accessories such as replacement keys and fobs, as well original parts for repairs and maintenance.

Before Installation

Before installing the garage door, you must ensure that your new door has a square and plumb opening. Square and Plumb hinges make the operation of installing much more fluent and enhance your door's overall appearance. Various site conditions may extremely affect the performance of your door to consider before an installation. 

Firstly, your door may not seal if it does not level at the opening, and if this lintel is not level, your entry may look off-level or off-centre. Your jambs, or if you have reveals, these must be plumb or square; otherwise, you can risk the appearance of your door not looking right. When builders remove old frames, they cannot exactly guarantee your brick or masonry on your house or property will not be disturbed or harmed. They are not responsible for any damage they may potentially cause in the process, such as loose plaster or masonry; however, they will attempt to remove your frame as carefully as possible. 

Before any garage installation, engineers have to ensure fixings are in the garage's ceilings and walls. To find these, they may have to make several holes to locate more solid points to enable the fixings. 

It is vital that if you do not have one already, get yourself a 13 amp socket before an installation. It allows builders to provide power to electric openers to open them this way, they are unable to wire to any lighting circuits or service boards, so it's best to get an amp. Once this is done, before installing, a qualified electrician will have to wire a fitted 13 lamp socket at the opener head location, of which they will provide further details on the exact site on the job.

It may all depend heavily on our staff's availability, the weather, the potential door size, and other forces beyond our control.

Installation Day

Once the floor is finished, only then can a garage or front door be installed. Suppose the finished floor is not in yet. In that case, it is crucial to indicate whereabouts the level of the floor will sit on the reveals to ensure the door sits or closes at the right height, the opener is automated and remote-controlled, and thus we set a limit on when to stop to complete it fully and when to open. 

If your garage has any works or jobs done, such as plastering and ceiling work, It will help ensure you carry out these tasks before requesting the door's installation. Any plaster in the tracks, guides, or other door mechanisms can damage it overall and void any warranties. If you require any further garage door repair or adjustments to the door or its opener after the initial installation day, there may be an additional call-out charge price to cover it. If you have any worries concerning the installation day, call Rollaway Garage Door services, and they can provide you with the advice you may need to prepare.
