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

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.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
The opening is measured again at the free survey, so the new door suits the opening rather than copying the old door's size.

Rules that apply in Carrickfergus

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Northern Ireland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or covenants can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need building control approval from your council under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 before work starts.

Roller garage door replacement in Carrickfergus: questions

Can I get a price for Carrickfergus 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 you remove my old garage door in Carrickfergus?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Carrickfergus 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Carrickfergus?

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 Carrickfergus. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Northern Ireland, and widening the opening needs building control approval from your council. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

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.
