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

Decide whether one wide door or two single doors suits how you use the garage, especially if there is a central pier.
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.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.

Rules that apply in Skelmersdale

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 Skelmersdale: questions

What do you check at a survey in WN8?

At a survey in WN8 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 Skelmersdale?

Yes. Skelmersdale is part of the area we cover in Lancashire, including WN8. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Skelmersdale as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for Skelmersdale 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.

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.

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.
