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

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.
Look for pipes, cables or lights near the top of the opening inside, because they may need moving to make room for the box.
Check the clear wall either side of the opening, since the guide rails typically need around 75 to 100 mm each side.

Rules that apply in Margate

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 Margate: questions

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

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 Margate garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Margate?

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

Do you charge more for Margate than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Margate as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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 Margate 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.

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.

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.
