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

Moving from single-skin to insulated laths reduces heat loss, draughts and noise in a garage you use every day.
Security-rated models are available, and we show you the manufacturer's certificate for the exact door being quoted.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
Where an old electric door already has power near the box, the supply is checked before it is reused for the new door.

Rules that apply in Chester

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 Chester: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Chester?

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

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

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.

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

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.

Do you charge more for Chester than other towns in Cheshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Chester as for anywhere else we cover in Cheshire. 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 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.

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.
