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

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.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the box.
Read the sizes, fitting position and box position in your written quote carefully, because that's what the door will be made to.

Rules that apply in St Albans

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 St Albans: questions

Can I get a price for St Albans 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 message you a photo of my garage in St Albans?

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

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in St Albans?

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.

What do you check at a survey in AL1?

At a survey in AL1 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.
