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

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.
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.

How does it work in Longton?

A free survey in Longton 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 Longton

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 Longton: questions

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

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 Longton garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Longton really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

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

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 Longton. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you cover Longton?

Yes. Longton is part of the area we cover in Staffordshire, including ST3, ST4 and ST12. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
