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

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.
Ask whether the colour you want is in the manufacturer's range, because colours outside it are priced separately on survey.
Read your deeds for covenants about the front of the house, which some newer estates use to control colours.

Rules that apply in Canterbury

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 Canterbury: questions

Do you charge more for Canterbury than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Canterbury as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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 Canterbury?

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

Do you cover Canterbury?

Yes. Canterbury is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT1 and CT2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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.

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.

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.
