Roller garage doors,
opened from the car.

With insulated aluminium slats and Somfy motors with remote control as standard, the door rolls neatly into a compact box above the opening, saving space inside and outside your garage.

What’s in the door, and why it matters.
Every door is made to measure for its opening, and has:
- Insulated slats: double-skinned aluminium with a foam-filled core, for warmth and quiet.
- Nothing to force: no handles or locks on the outside.
- A safety edge on the bottom rail, as standard: if the door touches anything as it closes, it goes back up.
- A Somfy motor: with remote control as standard, so it opens from the car.
- A manual override inside, so you can open and close it by hand in a power cut.
- A compact box above the opening, so nothing swings out onto the drive or runs along the garage ceiling.
14 colours, and laminates too.
Painted colours from white and cream to anthracite, black and Chartwell green, and painted woodgrains in golden oak and rosewood.
- White
- Cream
- Ivory

Three ways to fit it, one right for your garage.
It depends on the door, its size, the wall and how much room there is above the opening. Our surveyors measure it all and recommend the fit, for flat or pitched roofs, with or without gable ends.
- The usual way
On the inside face
The box and guides go on the inside of the wall, behind the opening. You keep the full width and height to drive through, and it’s the most secure.
- Under the lintel
In the opening
When the inside face won’t do, the door sits within the opening. It needs room for the box inside the opening, not above it, so you lose a little height to drive through.
- Little headroom
On the outside face
If there’s no headroom inside, the box goes on the outside, above the opening. You’ll see the box, colour-matched to the door.
Opens from the car. Press a button, drive in.
Every door has a Somfy motor and remote control as standard. We’ll go through the controls and any extras at your survey.
- Somfy remote control
- Open and close the door from the car or the house. We can add more handsets for the rest of the family.
- In a power cut
- Open and close it by hand from inside, with the manual override.
- Safety
- Every door has a safety edge on the bottom rail as standard, to send it back up if it touches anything as it closes.
- Extras
- Ask about wall switches, keypads and control from your phone.

How much does a roller garage door cost?
Every door is made to measure, so it depends on the size, the colour, how it’s fitted and the controls you want. We survey for free and give you one written price for the door and the fitting. See what sets the price.
Will it fit my garage?
Most likely. Roller doors suit permanent garages of most styles and ages, brick or timber-framed, with flat or pitched roofs, with or without gable ends. They roll up into a box above the opening, so nothing swings out onto the drive or runs along the garage ceiling.
Are your garage doors electric and automatic?
Yes. Our roller doors are motorised: a Somfy motor and remote control come as standard, so you can open and close the door from the car with the press of a button. If you’re near Ipswich, ask for a free survey and we’ll recommend the right door for your garage.
Do I need power in the garage?
Yes: a motorised door needs a mains supply near the door. If your garage has none, say so in the quote, and we’ll talk it through at the survey.
What happens in a power cut?
You can open and close the door by hand from inside, with the manual override. If the garage has no other way in, tell us at your survey and we’ll talk through the options.
Is it safe with children and pets?
Every door we fit has a safety edge on the bottom rail as standard: if the door touches anything as it closes, it goes back up. When it’s fitted, we set up your remotes and leave you the door’s instructions.
How secure is it?
There are no handles or locks on the outside to attack, the door runs in guide rails at either side, and rolls up into a closed box. Ask us about the security options for your garage at your survey.
Will it keep the garage warmer?
It helps. The slats are double-skinned aluminium with a foam-filled core, so the door keeps out more cold and noise than a thin metal one.
What’s the warranty?
Every door we fit comes with our 12-month installation warranty: if a fault it covers shows up in the first 12 months, we arrange the repair at no charge. The door and its parts also carry their makers’ own warranties, which vary from door to door, so we confirm yours with your quote. After the first 12 months, if a part fails while it’s still under its maker’s warranty, we arrange the replacement part under that warranty and charge only for the labour to fit it.
Can you repair or service our roller door?
Yes. A door that drags, a motor that’s stopped or a remote that’s lost: Admiral’s service engineer can help, years after the fit. Regular servicing keeps a roller door running smoothly. Book a service call.
How long does it take?
Each door is made to order for your opening, and we’ll give you a fitting date when you order. RAL colours made to order take longer, up to 12 to 14 weeks.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes. Finance through Novuna at 12.9% APR representative, from £500 to £25,000 over 1 to 10 years, or buy now, pay later at 14.9% APR. Finance is subject to status. Try the calculator.
