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

Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.
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.
Look along the lintel for cracks or sagging, because a wide door's box is fixed along its full length.

Once you accept the quote, we confirm the fitting date in writing, depending on installer availability. Until you've signed off the quote, no door is ordered and you're under no obligation.

Rules that apply in Colchester

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 Colchester: questions

Is the survey in Colchester really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

What do you check at a survey in CO1?

At a survey in CO1 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 Colchester?

Yes. Colchester is part of the area we cover in Essex, including CO1, CO2 and CO4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I get a price for Colchester 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.

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.

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.
