Rules that apply in Dorchester
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 Dorchester: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Dorchester?
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 Dorchester. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can you remove my old garage door in Dorchester?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Dorchester 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.
What do you check at a survey in DT1?
At a survey in DT1 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Dorchester?
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.
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.
