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

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.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.
Decide whether one wide door or two single doors suits how you use the garage, especially if there is a central pier.
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 Islington

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 Islington: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Islington?

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

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

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.

Do you charge more for Islington than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Islington as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

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

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.

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.

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.
