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

Look for pipes, cables or lights near the top of the opening inside, because they may need moving to make room for the box.
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.
Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening, because older garages are often slightly out of square.

How does it work in Brixton?

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 Brixton

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 Brixton: questions

Is the survey in Brixton 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 Brixton?

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.

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

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 cover Brixton?

Yes. Brixton is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW2, SW9 and SW8. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
