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

Allow extra headroom for a wide door, since larger laths make a bigger roll and need a deeper box.
Measure the width of your opening at the top, middle and bottom, and use the narrowest figure for your guide price.
Think about electric operation for any opening over 4 m, since the wide doubles in our price list are all electric.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.

Rules that apply in Swinton

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 Swinton: questions

Do you cover Swinton?

Yes. Swinton is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including M27, M30 and M28. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 you remove my old garage door in Swinton?

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

Do you charge more for Swinton than other towns in Greater Manchester?

No. Guide prices are the same for Swinton as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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.

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.
