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

Note any piers, downpipes or meter boxes outside the opening that could affect a face-fixed door or box.
Read the sizes, fitting position and box position in your written quote carefully, because that's what the door will be made to.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the 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 Barnes

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 Barnes: questions

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

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 Barnes garage so you can compare.

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

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 Barnes?

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

Can I get a price for Barnes 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.

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.
