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

Reveals, lintel and fixing points are checked once the old door is off, and any making good is agreed with you first.
Where an old electric door already has power near the box, the supply is checked before it is reused for the new door.
Security-rated models are available, and we show you the manufacturer's certificate for the exact door being quoted.
The opening is measured again at the free survey, so the new door suits the opening rather than copying the old door's size.

When you accept the quote, we confirm your fitting date in writing, based on installer availability. The old door is removed, the new one is fitted and commissioned, and the paperwork is handed over.

Rules that apply in Truro

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 Truro: questions

Do you charge more for Truro than other towns in Cornwall?

No. Guide prices are the same for Truro as for anywhere else we cover in Cornwall. 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.

What do you check at a survey in TR1?

At a survey in TR1 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Truro?

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.

Is the survey in Truro 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.

Will a new insulated door make my garage warm?

Insulated laths reduce heat loss, draughts and noise compared with single-skin laths, so the garage is more comfortable to use. The door still isn't part of the house's insulated envelope, and the walls, roof and floor matter too, so think of it as an improvement rather than turning the garage into a heated room.

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.
