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

Where an old electric door already has power near the box, the supply is checked before it is reused for the new door.
Reveals, lintel and fixing points are checked once the old door is off, and any making good is agreed with you first.
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.

How does it work in Cambridge?

We measure the opening, check how the old door is fixed, and look at headroom, side room, the lintel and power. Your written quote lists the new door, extras, removal and disposal of the old one, and anything priced on survey.

Rules that apply in Cambridge

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 Cambridge: questions

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Cambridge?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

How much does roller garage door replacement cost in Cambridge?

Our guide price for roller garage door replacement is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Cambridge as elsewhere we cover.

What do you check at a survey in CB2?

At a survey in CB2 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 cover Cambridge?

Yes. Cambridge is part of the area we cover in Cambridgeshire, including CB2 and CB4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is VAT included in the replacement price?

Yes. Home prices are shown including VAT. Garage doors are standard-rated at 20% and there's no reduced rate for them, so the figure in your written quote is the price you pay, unless you change the specification or further work is agreed with you in writing.

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.
