What should I know about roller garage door replacement in Waltham Abbey?

If only a lath or two is damaged on a sound door, we'll tell you that a repair may be better value.
Moving from single-skin to insulated laths reduces heat loss, draughts and noise in a garage you use every day.
Where an old electric door already has power near the box, the supply is checked before it is reused for the new door.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.

Rules that apply in Waltham Abbey

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 Waltham Abbey: questions

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

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 Waltham Abbey 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 Waltham Abbey?

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

What do you check at a survey in EN9?

At a survey in EN9 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.

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.

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.
