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

Read your deeds for covenants about the front of the house, which some newer estates use to control colours.
Ask whether the colour you want is in the manufacturer's range, because colours outside it are priced separately on survey.
Remember that a large flat door can make a colour look slightly different from the same shade on a narrow window frame.
Look through the paperwork for your windows or front door, because the RAL code is the most reliable way to match the colour.

How does it work in Barking?

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 Barking

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 Barking: questions

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

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 Barking. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Is the survey in Barking 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.

How much do coloured and woodgrain roller garage doors cost in Barking?

Our guide price for coloured and woodgrain roller garage doors is from £990 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 Barking as elsewhere we cover.

What do you check at a survey in IG11?

At a survey in IG11 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.

Can I paint my existing roller garage door a new colour?

We supply new doors in the finish you choose rather than repainting existing doors. Painting a roller curtain yourself could affect how the laths coil and run in the guides, and may affect the manufacturer's warranty terms. If your door is tired and you want a new colour, a replacement door in your chosen finish is the reliable route.

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.
