What should I know about roller garage door replacement in Bishop Auckland?

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.
Moving from single-skin to insulated laths reduces heat loss, draughts and noise in a garage you use every day.
If only a lath or two is damaged on a sound door, we'll tell you that a repair may be better value.

Rules that apply in Bishop Auckland

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 Bishop Auckland: questions

Is the survey in Bishop Auckland 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Bishop Auckland?

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

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

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.

How much does roller garage door replacement cost in Bishop Auckland?

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 Bishop Auckland as elsewhere we cover.

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.
