What should I know about made-to-measure roller garage doors in Carrickfergus?

Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the box.
Check the clear wall either side of the opening, since the guide rails typically need around 75 to 100 mm each side.
Check the height at both sides and in the middle, since an uneven floor can make one side of the opening taller than the other.
Look for pipes, cables or lights near the top of the opening inside, because they may need moving to make room for the box.

Rules that apply in Carrickfergus

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need building control approval from your council under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 before work starts.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Northern Ireland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or covenants can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Made-to-measure roller garage doors in Carrickfergus: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Carrickfergus?

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

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

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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Carrickfergus?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Carrickfergus 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.

What do you check at a survey in BT38?

At a survey in BT38 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 I order a made-to-measure door without a survey?

We don't order doors from customer measurements alone. The door is built to sizes taken at our free survey, where we also check the lintel, headroom, floor and power. That way, if the door doesn't fit, getting the sizes right is our job, not yours. Your own measurements are still useful for the online guide price before the survey.

What if my opening is narrower than a typical garage door?

Narrow openings are fine, because the door is built to your width. Side room is the main thing to check, since each guide rail needs some clear wall beside the opening. If the opening is narrow and you'd like as much clear width as possible, we'll explain how each fitting position affects the space you'll have for the car.
