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

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.
Measure the width of your opening at the top, middle and bottom, and use the narrowest figure for your guide price.
Ask whether pier removal needs building regulations approval before planning to turn two openings into one.

Rules that apply in Sunderland

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 Sunderland: questions

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

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.

Do you charge more for Sunderland than other towns in Tyne and Wear?

No. Guide prices are the same for Sunderland as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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.

What do you check at a survey in SR1?

At a survey in SR1 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 you remove my old garage door in Sunderland?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Sunderland address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

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.

What if my garage opening is wider than 5.5 m?

We price it on survey. Openings over 5.5 m fall outside our standard price bands, because the door, the lintel and the fixing points need to be checked and specified individually. You can still use the online tool to tell us about the opening, and we'll arrange a free survey and give you a written quote.
