What should I know about roller garage door installation in Ely?
- Where there's no socket near the box, a qualified electrician fits a fused spur from an existing circuit, shown as its own line in the quote.
- The free survey measures width, height, headroom and side room so the box and guide rails suit your opening exactly.
- Single-skin, insulated, security-rated and steel doors are available, manual or electric, for openings up to 5.5 m wide.
- You can choose a fitting position behind the opening, between the reveals or face-fixed, depending on the space inside the garage.

Rules that apply in Ely
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.
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.
Roller garage door installation in Ely: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Ely?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Ely 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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Ely?
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 Ely garage so you can compare.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Ely?
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.
Is the survey in Ely 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 a roller door fit if my garage has a low ceiling?
Yes. A roller door needs no ceiling space because the curtain coils into a box above the opening. What matters is headroom between the top of the opening and the ceiling or roof. If there isn't enough for the box behind the lintel, it can go under the lintel, which reduces the clear height, or be face-fixed on the wall.
Who carries out the installation?
Installation may be carried out by approved subcontracted installers working under our supervision and on our terms. Whoever fits the door, your contract is always with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd: one company, one contract, from the survey through to commissioning and the handover of your paperwork.
