Rules that apply in Sunderland
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 Sunderland: questions
What do you check at a survey in SR1?
At a survey in SR1 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 Sunderland 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 you remove my old garage door in Sunderland?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Sunderland 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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Sunderland?
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 Sunderland garage so you can compare.
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.
