Rules that apply in Kendal
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 Kendal: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Kendal?
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 Kendal. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
What do you check at a survey in LA9?
At a survey in LA9 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.
Is the survey in Kendal 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.
Do you charge more for Kendal than other towns in Cumbria?
No. Guide prices are the same for Kendal as for anywhere else we cover in Cumbria. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
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 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.
