What should I know about double and wide roller garage doors in Bedford?

Allow extra headroom for a wide door, since larger laths make a bigger roll and need a deeper box.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.
Decide whether one wide door or two single doors suits how you use the garage, especially if there is a central pier.
Think about electric operation for any opening over 4 m, since the wide doubles in our price list are all electric.

Rules that apply in Bedford

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.

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.

Double and wide roller garage doors in Bedford: questions

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

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

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

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.

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

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 Bedford garage so you can compare.

How much do double and wide roller garage doors cost in Bedford?

Our guide price for double and wide roller garage doors is from £1,395 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 Bedford as elsewhere we cover.

Do I need permission to turn two garage openings into one?

Removing a pier and fitting a longer lintel is structural work, and it may need Building Regulations approval. Whether planning permission is needed depends on your property, so check with your local authority, especially for listed buildings or homes in a conservation area. Our guide to planning and building regulations covers the questions to ask.

Will a roller door give me more width than my double up-and-over door?

Possibly a little. An up-and-over door has a frame and swing-out arms at the sides, and a roller door doesn't, so converting can improve the clear width slightly. The guide rails still need some side room at each end. We measure the clear width you'd get at survey, so you know before ordering.
