Rules that apply in Chatham
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 Chatham: questions
Do you cover Chatham?
Yes. Chatham is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME4, ME7 and ME1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
How much does roller garage door installation cost in Chatham?
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 Chatham as elsewhere we cover.
Can you remove my old garage door in Chatham?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Chatham 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 the survey in Chatham 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.
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.
