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

Compare any colour against your house in daylight, as screens and printed charts rarely show a shade accurately.
Ask whether the colour you want is in the manufacturer's range, because colours outside it are priced separately on survey.
Look through the paperwork for your windows or front door, because the RAL code is the most reliable way to match the colour.
Remember that a large flat door can make a colour look slightly different from the same shade on a narrow window frame.

How does it work in Edinburgh?

Once you accept the quote, the door is ordered in that finish and the fitting date is confirmed in writing. The date depends on installer availability.

Rules that apply in Edinburgh

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

Coloured and woodgrain roller garage doors in Edinburgh: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Edinburgh?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Is the survey in Edinburgh 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.

What do you check at a survey in EH2?

At a survey in EH2 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.

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh is part of the area we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including EH2, EH3 and EH1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I see a colour sample before ordering?

It's sensible to see a physical sample where one is available, because screens and printed charts don't show colours accurately. Ask about samples when you book your survey. If you already have a RAL code from your windows or front door, that code is the most precise way to tell us the colour you want.

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.
