How to Prepare Your Garage For a Survey

Having a new garage door installed at your home is a fantastic way to enhance your property. 

At Rollerdor, we regularly supply and install roller garage doors of the highest quality, providing every home with a boost. Roller doors are unique due to their excellent space saving abilities. They operate by retracting immediately upwards, neatly being stored in a box on your garage’s ceiling. This leaves you with more storage space and allows vehicles to park close to the garage without causing an obstruction.    

Furthermore, they’re also a fantastic option when it comes to increasing a property’s kerb appeal due to the stunning aesthetics they can provide. 

If you’re considering having a roller garage door installed at your property, you’ll usually require a site survey. This will involve a member of our team visiting your location, taking measurements and assessing the type of product that will suit your property best. 

Before we visit your property, there are a number of things you can do to prepare your garage and ensure the process runs smoothly.    

Organise your garage beforehand

A garage survey involves our team assessing your garage and taking key measurements. To make this process easier, we’d always recommend giving your garage a bit of a tidy-up before we arrive. This way, our technicians will have easy access to all areas of your garage, making the job a lot easier for both us and you. Plus, it will avoid the risk of any trip hazards for our team. 

Garages can understandably get a bit cluttered over time, so it’s also a good excuse to get the space organised. 

Move your vehicles

A garage survey can’t take place if your vehicle is parked inside it. This is because measurements will need to be taken on the ceiling, which will involve using ladders in the place that your vehicle is situated. Move your car elsewhere before we arrive, as this will make the process run more smoothly. 

It also means that you can be sure that your vehicle won’t be accidentally damaged in the process. 

Assess locations for wall consoles and openers

While we’ll always advise you on the best locations for wall consoles and openers, it’s always worthwhile spending a bit of time before we arrive scouting out the most convenient place for them. After all, you’re going to be the person using it on a daily basis so we’ll always do our best to accommodate your needs. It will also be helpful for our team if you could let us know about the nearest power supply is located. Our team will require access to plug sockets to carry out the work, so this is something we will need to be aware of. 

When we arrive for the survey, you can inform us of your preferences and we’ll do our best to make it a reality.
