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

Measure the width of your opening at the top, middle and bottom, and use the narrowest figure for your guide price.
Decide whether one wide door or two single doors suits how you use the garage, especially if there is a central pier.
Look along the lintel for cracks or sagging, because a wide door's box is fixed along its full length.
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.

Rules that apply in Forfar

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Double and wide roller garage doors in Forfar: questions

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

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 Forfar?

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 Forfar garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Forfar 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 cover Forfar?

Yes. Forfar is part of the area we cover in Dundee and Angus, including DD8. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
