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

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.
Note any piers, downpipes or meter boxes outside the opening that could affect a face-fixed door or box.
Have your rough measurements to hand when you request a guide price, even though the door is built to the survey sizes.

Rules that apply in Swanley

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 Swanley: questions

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

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 Swanley garage so you can compare.

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

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 Swanley as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Swanley?

Yes. Swanley is part of the area we cover in Kent, including BR8, BR5 and DA4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Swanley 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.

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.

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.
