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

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.
Note any piers, downpipes or meter boxes outside the opening that could affect a face-fixed door or box.
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.

Rules that apply in Derby

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 Derby: questions

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

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 Derby than other towns in Derbyshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Derby as for anywhere else we cover in Derbyshire. 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 you cover Derby?

Yes. Derby is part of the area we cover in Derbyshire, including DE1, DE22 and DE23. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can you remove my old garage door in Derby?

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

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.

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.
