Rules that apply in Cardiff
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), is 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 Wales 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 Cardiff: questions
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Cardiff?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Cardiff?
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 Cardiff garage so you can compare.
What do you check at a survey in CF10?
At a survey in CF10 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 Cardiff?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Cardiff 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.
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.
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.
