Rules that apply in Folkestone
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 Folkestone: questions
Is the survey in Folkestone 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 CT20?
At a survey in CT20 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 I get a price for Folkestone without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
Can you remove my old garage door in Folkestone?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Folkestone 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.
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.
