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

Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening, because older garages are often slightly out of square.
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.
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 Hemel Hempstead

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 Hemel Hempstead: questions

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

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 Hemel Hempstead garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Hemel Hempstead?

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

Yes. Hemel Hempstead is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including HP2, HP3 and HP1. 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 HP2?

At a survey in HP2 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.

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.

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.
