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

Check the clear wall either side of the opening, since the guide rails typically need around 75 to 100 mm each side.
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.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction, as that space decides the size and position of the box.

Rules that apply in Washington

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 Washington: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Washington?

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

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Washington?

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.

Is the survey in Washington 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 get a price for Washington without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is 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.

Can I order a made-to-measure door without a survey?

We don't order doors from customer measurements alone. The door is built to sizes taken at our free survey, where we also check the lintel, headroom, floor and power. That way, if the door doesn't fit, getting the sizes right is our job, not yours. Your own measurements are still useful for the online guide price before the survey.
