What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Bow?
- Decide whether the garage is just for parking and storage, where single-skin laths may be enough, or used as a room, where insulated laths make more sense.
- If you want an electric door, look for a socket or fused spur near the top of the opening where the control box will go.
- Check there is roughly 75 to 100 mm of solid wall on each side of the opening for the aluminium guide rails to fix to.
- Measure the space between the top of the opening and the ceiling, because the coiled curtain needs a box that is commonly around 205 to 300 mm deep or more.

Rules that apply in Bow
Structural work
Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.
Aluminium roller garage doors in Bow: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Bow?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Bow address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.
Do you cover Bow?
Yes. Bow is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including E3, E20 and E15. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Bow?
Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.
Do you charge more for Bow than other towns in Greater London?
No. Guide prices are the same for Bow as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
Is single-skin aluminium enough for my garage?
It depends on how you use the space. For parking, bikes and garden tools, single-skin laths are often all you need. If you use the garage as a workshop, gym or utility area, or it sits beside or below living space, insulated laths reduce heat loss, draughts and noise and are worth the extra cost.
Can an aluminium roller door replace an up-and-over door?
Yes. We remove the old up-and-over door and its frame, or keep the frame if it's sound, then check the lintel and reveals before fitting the box behind the lintel and the guides to the reveals. Without swing-out arms you may gain a little clear width. Extra work, such as a new lintel or building out the reveals, is priced on survey.
