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

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.
Decide whether one wide door or two single doors suits how you use the garage, especially if there is a central pier.
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 Canvey Island

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 Canvey Island: questions

What do you check at a survey in SS8?

At a survey in SS8 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.

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

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 Canvey Island garage so you can compare.

Do you cover Canvey Island?

Yes. Canvey Island is part of the area we cover in Essex, including SS8 and SS7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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.

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.

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.
