What should I know about insulated roller garage doors in Eltham?

Wider openings usually suit 77 mm laths for rigidity, so expect the lath size to be confirmed once the width has been measured at survey.
Measure the headroom above the opening carefully, because insulated laths make a bigger roll than single-skin and need a deeper box.
Check whether the garage has other weak spots, such as a single-glazed window or a gappy side door, that will still let heat out after the new door goes in.
Think about how the garage will be used in future, since choosing insulated laths now avoids replacing the door if it becomes a hobby or utility space.

Rules that apply in Eltham

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.

Insulated roller garage doors in Eltham: questions

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in SE9?

At a survey in SE9 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Eltham?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

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

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 Eltham garage so you can compare.

Are insulated roller doors available in different colours?

Yes. Insulated doors come in the manufacturer's standard range finishes, and you can choose a RAL colour or a woodgrain effect as a priced extra. Colours outside the manufacturer's range are priced on survey. If you're matching windows or a front door, have the RAL code to hand when you ask for a guide price.

Will an insulated door fit the same opening as my old single-skin door?

Usually, yes, but insulated laths are thicker, so the curtain makes a bigger roll in the box. If your old door had a small box, the new one may need more headroom, a box fitted under the lintel, or a face-fitted box. We check this at survey and explain the trade-offs before you choose.
