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

Compare any colour against your house in daylight, as screens and printed charts rarely show a shade accurately.
Think about the inside face of the door if the garage is integral or used as a room, since finishes can differ by side.
Decide whether you want the guide rails and box in the same finish, especially if the box will be face-fitted outside.
Remember that a large flat door can make a colour look slightly different from the same shade on a narrow window frame.

Rules that apply in Dartford

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 Dartford: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Dartford?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Dartford 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 the survey in Dartford 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 DA1?

At a survey in DA1 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.

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

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 Dartford as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
