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

Allow extra headroom for a wide door, since larger laths make a bigger roll and need a deeper box.
Think about electric operation for any opening over 4 m, since the wide doubles in our price list are all electric.
Decide whether one wide door or two single doors suits how you use the garage, especially if there is a central pier.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.

Rules that apply in Thamesmead

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 Thamesmead: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Thamesmead?

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

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Thamesmead?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Thamesmead garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Thamesmead 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.

Is the survey in Thamesmead 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.

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.

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.
