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

Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the box.
Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening, because older garages are often slightly out of square.
Note any piers, downpipes or meter boxes outside the opening that could affect a face-fixed door or box.
Look for pipes, cables or lights near the top of the opening inside, because they may need moving to make room for the box.

Rules that apply in Herne Bay

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 Herne Bay: questions

How much do made-to-measure roller garage doors cost in Herne Bay?

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 Herne Bay as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Herne Bay garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Herne Bay?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Herne Bay 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Herne Bay?

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

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.

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.
