Rules that apply in Durham
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 Durham: questions
How much does roller garage door installation cost in Durham?
Our guide price for roller garage door installation is from £1,195 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 Durham as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Durham?
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 Durham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Durham?
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 Durham garage so you can compare.
What do you check at a survey in DH1?
At a survey in DH1 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 you fit a roller door to a garage that has never had one?
Yes. Whether the opening has no door at all, a temporary cover, or a door you want taken away, the survey works the same way. We check the lintel, reveals, floor level and headroom, and anything the opening needs first, such as a new lintel, is priced on survey and shown in your quote.
Is the survey really free?
Yes. The survey for a new door is free and there's no obligation. We measure the opening, check headroom, side room, the lintel and power, then send a written quote listing the door, extras, removal of the old door and anything priced on survey. Nothing is agreed until you accept the quote in writing.
