Roller Garage Doors Waltham Abbey

A fully fitted roller garage door in Waltham Abbey starts at £1,275 for a 55mm door with external key switch operation and manual override, or £1,325 for the 12.5mm slat version of that package. Remote control operation with a safety edge starts at £1,475, and the heavier 77mm profile starts at £1,790. A five metre wide 77mm door is typically around £3,000 fully fitted. Any colour other than white adds a flat £100 and an extra remote is £40. All prices include VAT. The survey measures your opening and the written quote is fixed.

Yes, and a block is where a roller door earns its keep. The parking bay sits directly in front of the door, so an up-and-over has to have that bay clear before it will open, which means moving the car to get into your own garage. A roller curtain travels straight up into its top box and takes no space in front at all. We need roughly 75mm clear each side of the opening for the guide runners and 205mm to 300mm of headroom above it for the box. Access is checked at the survey and the old door leaves with us.

Waltham Abbey is a commuter town on the M25, so a lot of doors here are opened twice a day, every working day. If you want to open yours from the car without getting out in the rain, you need one of the remote control packages: from £1,475 with a hard-wired safety edge, or £1,575 with a wireless one. The £1,275 and £1,325 packages are external key switch only, which suits a garage you use at weekends. All prices include VAT. Every door has a manual override for power cuts and the motor runs from a standard 13-amp socket.

Replacing an existing garage door is normally permitted development and needs no application. The oldest part of Waltham Abbey, around the abbey church, has listed buildings and conservation area restrictions, so if your property sits inside either it is worth a call to Epping Forest District Council before you order, because colour and finish can matter there. Most of the garages we fit are out on the twentieth century estates ringing that core, where it rarely comes up. If we think it applies, we flag it at the free survey rather than after the door is made.

Yes. We travel from Sible Hedingham, about 50 minutes from Waltham Abbey, and we cover Epping, Loughton and Harlow on the same run, so a survey here is a routine part of the week rather than a special trip. Most single door installations are finished in one visit, usually within half a day, including taking the old door away. If you are not sure whether your road falls inside the area we cover, call 01376 800 750 and we will tell you straight away.
