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

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.
Allow extra headroom for a wide door, since larger laths make a bigger roll and need a deeper box.
Check whether the floor slopes or dips across the opening, as a wide bottom rail needs to sit evenly when closed.

Rules that apply in Hackney

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 Hackney: questions

Do you cover Hackney?

Yes. Hackney is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including E8, E9 and E5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can you remove my old garage door in Hackney?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Hackney 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 E8?

At a survey in E8 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 Hackney?

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.

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.

Do I need permission to turn two garage openings into one?

Removing a pier and fitting a longer lintel is structural work, and it may need Building Regulations approval. Whether planning permission is needed depends on your property, so check with your local authority, especially for listed buildings or homes in a conservation area. Our guide to planning and building regulations covers the questions to ask.
