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

Think about electric operation for any opening over 4 m, since the wide doubles in our price list are all electric.
Look along the lintel for cracks or sagging, because a wide door's box is fixed along its full length.
Allow extra headroom for a wide door, since larger laths make a bigger roll and need a deeper box.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.

Rules that apply in Walthamstow

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 Walthamstow: questions

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in E17?

At a survey in E17 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 you cover Walthamstow?

Yes. Walthamstow is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including E17, E10 and E18. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Walthamstow 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.

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.

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.
