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

Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.
Measure the width of your opening at the top, middle and bottom, and use the narrowest figure for your guide price.
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.
Allow extra headroom for a wide door, since larger laths make a bigger roll and need a deeper box.

Rules that apply in Dronfield

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 Dronfield: questions

What do you check at a survey in S18?

At a survey in S18 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.

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

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

Can I get a price for Dronfield without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Do you charge more for Dronfield than other towns in Derbyshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Dronfield as for anywhere else we cover in Derbyshire. 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.

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.
