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

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.
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.
Think about electric operation for any opening over 4 m, since the wide doubles in our price list are all electric.

Rules that apply in Acton

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 Acton: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Acton?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

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

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 Acton as elsewhere we cover.

Can you remove my old garage door in Acton?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Acton address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

What do you check at a survey in W3?

At a survey in W3 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.

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.

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.
