Rules that apply in Derry/Londonderry
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Northern Ireland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or covenants can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Northern Ireland, but electrical work must still meet BS 7671 and be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Roller garage door installation in Derry/Londonderry: questions
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Derry/Londonderry?
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 Derry/Londonderry garage so you can compare.
Is the survey in Derry/Londonderry 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.
What do you check at a survey in BT48?
At a survey in BT48 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 remove my old garage door in Derry/Londonderry?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Derry/Londonderry 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?
Fitting a domestic roller door on a sound opening normally takes a day or less, including removing the old door, commissioning and handover. Extra work such as a new lintel, building out the reveals or a new fused spur can add time. Your fitting date depends on installer availability and is confirmed in writing before the day.
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.
