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

Check whether the floor slopes or dips across the opening, as a wide bottom rail needs to sit evenly when closed.
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 Chatham

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 Chatham: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Chatham?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Chatham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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

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 Chatham garage so you can compare.

Do you cover Chatham?

Yes. Chatham is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME4, ME7 and ME1. 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 Chatham than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Chatham as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.

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.

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.
