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

If only a lath or two is damaged on a sound door, we'll tell you that a repair may be better value.
The opening is measured again at the free survey, so the new door suits the opening rather than copying the old door's size.
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.

Rules that apply in Hitchin

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 Hitchin: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Hitchin?

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

What do you check at a survey in SG5?

At a survey in SG5 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 get a price for Hitchin 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.

Do you charge more for Hitchin than other towns in Hertfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Hitchin as for anywhere else we cover in Hertfordshire. 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.

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 you replace a roller door made by a different company?

Yes. We replace roller garage doors of any make, and up-and-over doors too. The old door is removed and disposed of as part of the price, so it doesn't matter who made or fitted it. What matters is the opening itself, which we measure afresh at the free survey before quoting.
