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

Read your deeds for covenants about the front of the house, which some newer estates use to control colours.
Remember that a large flat door can make a colour look slightly different from the same shade on a narrow window frame.
Decide whether you want the guide rails and box in the same finish, especially if the box will be face-fitted outside.
Check with your local planning authority before changing colour if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

Rules that apply in Atherton

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 Atherton: questions

Do you charge more for Atherton than other towns in Greater Manchester?

No. Guide prices are the same for Atherton as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Atherton?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Atherton 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.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Atherton?

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 Atherton garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in M46?

At a survey in M46 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.

Will the guide rails and box match the door colour?

It's worth asking at the survey. On most fittings the box sits inside the garage, but the guide rails can be visible from outside, and a face-fitted box is fully on show. Finish options for the guides and box depend on the door model, so tell us what you'd like and the quote will state exactly what's included.

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.
