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

Have your rough measurements to hand when you request a guide price, even though the door is built to the survey sizes.
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.

How does it work in Harwich?

When you accept the quote, the door is ordered to those sizes and your fitting date is confirmed in writing. The date depends on installer availability.

Rules that apply in Harwich

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 Harwich: questions

Do you charge more for Harwich than other towns in Essex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Harwich as for anywhere else we cover in Essex. 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 Harwich?

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 the survey in Harwich really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

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

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.

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.

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.
