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

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.
Check whether the floor slopes or dips across the opening, as a wide bottom rail needs to sit evenly when closed.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.
Look along the lintel for cracks or sagging, because a wide door's box is fixed along its full length.

Rules that apply in Formby

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 Formby: questions

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

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 Formby garage so you can compare.

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

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 Formby as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Formby?

Yes. Formby is part of the area we cover in Merseyside, including L37 and L38. 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 Formby than other towns in Merseyside?

No. Guide prices are the same for Formby as for anywhere else we cover in Merseyside. 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.

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.
