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

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.
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.

How does it work in Christchurch?

A free survey in Christchurch then checks the width at several points, the lintel, headroom, floor and power. Your written quote lists the door and any structural work separately.

Rules that apply in Christchurch

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 Christchurch: questions

What do you check at a survey in BH23?

At a survey in BH23 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.

Do you cover Christchurch?

Yes. Christchurch is part of the area we cover in Dorset, including BH23, BH6 and BH7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Christchurch as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Christchurch garage so you can compare.

Is a manual roller door practical on a double garage?

It can be, but only up to 4 m in our price list, and you'll be lifting a long curtain by hand each time, even with spring assistance. For a garage opened every day, or anyone who would find that hard work, an electric door is usually the better choice. Wide doubles between 4 and 5.5 m in our price list are electric.

Can I convert a double up-and-over door to a roller door?

Yes. We remove the old door and its frame, or keep the frame if it's sound, then check the lintel and reveals. The box is fitted behind the lintel and the guides to the reveals. Any extra work, such as a new lintel or building out the reveals, is priced on survey and listed separately in your written quote.
