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

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

A free survey in Lancaster then checks the width at several points, the lintel, headroom, floor and power. Your written quote lists the door and any structural work separately.

Rules that apply in Lancaster

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 Lancaster: questions

What do you check at a survey in LA1?

At a survey in LA1 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.

Can I get a price for Lancaster 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.

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

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.

How much do double and wide roller garage doors cost in Lancaster?

Our guide price for double and wide roller garage doors is from £1,395 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Lancaster as elsewhere we cover.

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.
