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

Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the box.
Look for pipes, cables or lights near the top of the opening inside, because they may need moving to make room for the box.
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.

Rules that apply in Barking

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 Barking: questions

Do you cover Barking?

Yes. Barking is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including IG11, IG1 and IG3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What do you check at a survey in IG11?

At a survey in IG11 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.

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

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 Barking. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

How much do made-to-measure roller garage doors cost in Barking?

Our guide price for made-to-measure roller garage doors is from £1,495 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Barking as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
