What should I know about roller garage door replacement in Kempston?

Where an old electric door already has power near the box, the supply is checked before it is reused for the new door.
The opening is measured again at the free survey, so the new door suits the opening rather than copying the old door's size.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
Reveals, lintel and fixing points are checked once the old door is off, and any making good is agreed with you first.

Rules that apply in Kempston

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.

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Roller garage door replacement in Kempston: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Kempston?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, 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.

What do you check at a survey in MK42?

At a survey in MK42 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.

Do you charge more for Kempston than other towns in Bedfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Kempston as for anywhere else we cover in Bedfordshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Can you remove my old garage door in Kempston?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Kempston 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.

Can you replace a roller door made by a different company?

Yes. We replace roller garage doors of any make, and up-and-over doors too. The old door is removed and disposed of as part of the price, so it doesn't matter who made or fitted it. What matters is the opening itself, which we measure afresh at the free survey before quoting.

Can I keep my old roller box and just change the curtain?

Our replacement prices are for a complete new door, because a new curtain needs a barrel, box, guides and controls that are matched to it. If only a few laths are damaged on an otherwise sound door, a lath repair may be the better option, and we'll say so if that's the case.
