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

Decide whether you want the guide rails and box in the same finish, especially if the box will be face-fitted outside.
Compare any colour against your house in daylight, as screens and printed charts rarely show a shade accurately.
Look through the paperwork for your windows or front door, because the RAL code is the most reliable way to match the colour.
Check with your local planning authority before changing colour if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

Rules that apply in St Albans

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 St Albans: questions

Do you cover St Albans?

Yes. St Albans is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including AL1, AL2 and AL4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in St Albans 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.

Do you charge more for St Albans than other towns in Hertfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for St Albans as for anywhere else we cover in Hertfordshire. 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.

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

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 St Albans as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
