What should I know about aluminium roller garage doors in Gillingham?
- Check whether the garage floor is level across the opening, as the bottom rail of the curtain needs to sit evenly when the door closes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Rules that apply in Gillingham
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.
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 Gillingham: questions
How much do aluminium roller garage doors cost in Gillingham?
Our guide price for aluminium roller garage doors is from £895 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Gillingham as elsewhere we cover.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Gillingham?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Gillingham garage so you can compare.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Gillingham?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
What do you check at a survey in ME7?
At a survey in ME7 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.
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 I park right up to an aluminium roller door?
Yes. The curtain rises straight up into the box instead of tilting outwards like an up-and-over door, so you can park close to the opening and still open it fully. That is handy on a short drive, because nothing swings out over the space in front of the garage while the door is moving.
