What should I know about coloured and woodgrain roller garage doors in Christchurch?

Think about the inside face of the door if the garage is integral or used as a room, since finishes can differ by side.
Check with your local planning authority before changing colour if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
Compare any colour against your house in daylight, as screens and printed charts rarely show a shade accurately.
Read your deeds for covenants about the front of the house, which some newer estates use to control colours.

Rules that apply in Christchurch

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.

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.

Coloured and woodgrain roller garage doors in Christchurch: questions

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Christchurch?

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.

Is the survey in Christchurch really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Christchurch?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Christchurch. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you cover Christchurch?

Yes. Christchurch is part of the area we cover in Dorset, including BH23, BH6 and BH7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Does a woodgrain roller door need treating like real timber?

No. A woodgrain finish is a wood effect on aluminium or steel laths, so it doesn't need staining, oiling or varnishing like timber. Clean it as the manufacturer recommends and keep the guide rails free of debris. Manufacturer's warranty terms for the door and its finish are set out in writing in your quote.

Can I have different colours on the inside and outside of the door?

That depends on what the manufacturer offers for the door you choose, because the finish options for the inside face of the curtain vary from one model to another. Tell us at the survey if the inside colour matters to you, for example on an integral garage you use as a utility space, and we'll confirm it in writing.
