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

Allow extra headroom for a wide door, since larger laths make a bigger roll and need a deeper box.
Make sure there's a clear route from the road to the garage, because a curtain for a wide opening is long and awkward to carry.
Check whether the floor slopes or dips across the opening, as a wide bottom rail needs to sit evenly when closed.
Measure the width of your opening at the top, middle and bottom, and use the narrowest figure for your guide price.

Rules that apply in Falmouth

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 Falmouth: questions

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

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 Falmouth garage so you can compare.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Falmouth?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

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

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 message you a photo of my garage in Falmouth?

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

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.

What if my garage opening is wider than 5.5 m?

We price it on survey. Openings over 5.5 m fall outside our standard price bands, because the door, the lintel and the fixing points need to be checked and specified individually. You can still use the online tool to tell us about the opening, and we'll arrange a free survey and give you a written quote.
