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

Moving from single-skin to insulated laths reduces heat loss, draughts and noise in a garage you use every day.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
We take down and dispose of the old roller or up-and-over door, and that is included in every door price.
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 Reading

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 Reading: questions

Do you cover Reading?

Yes. Reading is part of the area we cover in Berkshire, including RG1, RG4 and RG30. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I get a price for Reading 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Reading?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Reading. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you charge more for Reading than other towns in Berkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Reading as for anywhere else we cover in Berkshire. 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.

How long will a new roller garage door last?

Lifespan depends on use, exposure and care rather than a fixed number of years. Keeping the guide rails clean, using only the lubricant the manufacturer allows, testing the safety devices monthly and having the door serviced all help. The manufacturer's warranty terms for your door and motor are set out in writing in your quote.

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.
