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

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.
Read the sizes, fitting position and box position in your written quote carefully, because that's what the door will be made to.

Rules that apply in Hove

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 Hove: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Hove?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Hove 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 BN3?

At a survey in BN3 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 Hove?

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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Hove?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Hove. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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.

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.
