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

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.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
We take down and dispose of the old roller or up-and-over door, and that is included in every door price.

Rules that apply in Dalkeith

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or title conditions 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 a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

Roller garage door replacement in Dalkeith: questions

Do you charge more for Dalkeith than other towns in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

No. Guide prices are the same for Dalkeith as for anywhere else we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians. 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 message you a photo of my garage in Dalkeith?

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 Dalkeith. 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 Dalkeith?

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

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Dalkeith?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Dalkeith garage so you can compare.

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.
