What should I know about roller garage door replacement in St Albans?

The opening is measured again at the free survey, so the new door suits the opening rather than copying the old door's size.
Security-rated models are available, and we show you the manufacturer's certificate for the exact door being quoted.
Where an old electric door already has power near the box, the supply is checked before it is reused for the new door.
Reveals, lintel and fixing points are checked once the old door is off, and any making good is agreed with you first.

How does it work in St Albans?

When you accept the quote, we confirm your fitting date in writing, based on installer availability. The old door is removed, the new one is fitted and commissioned, and the paperwork is handed over.

Rules that apply in St Albans

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 St Albans: questions

How much does roller garage door replacement cost in St Albans?

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 St Albans as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for St Albans 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in St Albans?

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.

Do you charge more for St Albans than other towns in Hertfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for St Albans 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 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.
