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

Read the sizes, fitting position and box position in your written quote carefully, because that's what the door will be made to.
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.
Look for pipes, cables or lights near the top of the opening inside, because they may need moving to make room for the box.
Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening, because older garages are often slightly out of square.

Rules that apply in Forres

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Made-to-measure roller garage doors in Forres: questions

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

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 Forres garage so you can compare.

Do you charge more for Forres than other towns in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

No. Guide prices are the same for Forres as for anywhere else we cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Is the survey in Forres 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 much do made-to-measure roller garage doors cost in Forres?

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 Forres as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
