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

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.
Security-rated models are available, and we show you the manufacturer's certificate for the exact door being quoted.

Rules that apply in Romford

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 Romford: questions

Do you cover Romford?

Yes. Romford is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including RM1, RM7 and RM2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is the survey in Romford 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 Romford?

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

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.

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.

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.
