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

Read the sizes, fitting position and box position in your written quote carefully, because that's what the door will be made to.
Note any piers, downpipes or meter boxes outside the opening that could affect a face-fixed door or box.
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 clear wall either side of the opening, since the guide rails typically need around 75 to 100 mm each side.

Rules that apply in Harpenden

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 Harpenden: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Harpenden?

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

Do you cover Harpenden?

Yes. Harpenden is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including AL5 and AL3. 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 AL5?

At a survey in AL5 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.

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

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 Harpenden as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
