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

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.
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.

How does it work in Folkestone?

When you accept the quote, the door is ordered to those sizes and your fitting date is confirmed in writing. The date depends on installer availability.

Rules that apply in Folkestone

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 Folkestone: questions

Is the survey in Folkestone 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 Folkestone?

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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Folkestone?

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

Do you cover Folkestone?

Yes. Folkestone is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT20, CT19 and CT18. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is a made-to-measure door more expensive than a standard size?

Our prices are set in width bands, and the door within each band is built to your measured sizes. The guide price changes when an opening moves into a wider band, or when it needs work beyond the door itself, such as a new lintel or building out the reveals. That extra work is priced on survey and shown on its own line in your written quote.

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.
