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

Have your rough measurements to hand when you request a guide price, even though the door is built to the survey sizes.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the box.
Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening, because older garages are often slightly out of square.
Check the clear wall either side of the opening, since the guide rails typically need around 75 to 100 mm each side.

Rules that apply in Stanley

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 Stanley: questions

Can I get a price for Stanley without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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

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 Stanley garage so you can compare.

Do you charge more for Stanley than other towns in County Durham?

No. Guide prices are the same for Stanley 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.

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

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 a made-to-measure door more expensive than a standard size?

Our prices are set in width bands, and the door within each band is built to your measured sizes. The guide price changes when an opening moves into a wider band, or when it needs work beyond the door itself, such as a new lintel or building out the reveals. That extra work is priced on survey and shown on its own line in your written quote.

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.
