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

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.
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 clear wall either side of the opening, since the guide rails typically need around 75 to 100 mm each side.
Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening, because older garages are often slightly out of square.

Rules that apply in Formby

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 Formby: questions

What do you check at a survey in L37?

At a survey in L37 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

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

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

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Formby?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Can you remove my old garage door in Formby?

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

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.

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.
