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

Think about electric operation for any opening over 4 m, since the wide doubles in our price list are all electric.
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.
Check whether the floor slopes or dips across the opening, as a wide bottom rail needs to sit evenly when closed.
Decide whether one wide door or two single doors suits how you use the garage, especially if there is a central pier.

Rules that apply in Brixton

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 Brixton: questions

Is the survey in Brixton 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 SW2?

At a survey in SW2 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Brixton?

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.

Do you cover Brixton?

Yes. Brixton is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW2, SW9 and SW8. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
