What should I know about made-to-measure roller garage doors in Chester-le-Street?
- Note any piers, downpipes or meter boxes outside the opening that could affect a face-fixed door or box.
- 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.
- Read the sizes, fitting position and box position in your written quote carefully, because that's what the door will be made to.
- 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 Chester-le-Street
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.
Made-to-measure roller garage doors in Chester-le-Street: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Chester-le-Street 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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Chester-le-Street?
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 Chester-le-Street garage so you can compare.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Chester-le-Street?
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.
Do you charge more for Chester-le-Street than other towns in County Durham?
No. Guide prices are the same for Chester-le-Street as for anywhere else we cover in County Durham. 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.
Why might my measurements differ from the surveyor's?
Openings are rarely perfectly square, so width and height often vary by a few millimetres from one point to another. The surveyor measures at several points, checks the floor level and works to the figures the door must fit. Small differences from your own measurements are normal, and the written quote is based on the survey.
Can I choose the finish and extras on a made-to-measure door?
Yes. Alongside the sizes, you can choose the lath type, a RAL colour or woodgrain finish, vision or vent laths, and for electric doors extras such as a wireless keypad, smart app control or battery backup. Each choice is written into your quote with its price, so the door that's ordered matches exactly what you agreed.
