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

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.
Have your rough measurements to hand when you request a guide price, even though the door is built to the survey sizes.
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 Canterbury

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 Canterbury: questions

Is the survey in Canterbury 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 Canterbury?

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 you cover Canterbury?

Yes. Canterbury is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT1 and CT2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Canterbury garage so you can compare.

Can I order a made-to-measure door without a survey?

We don't order doors from customer measurements alone. The door is built to sizes taken at our free survey, where we also check the lintel, headroom, floor and power. That way, if the door doesn't fit, getting the sizes right is our job, not yours. Your own measurements are still useful for the online guide price before the survey.

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.
