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

Reveals, lintel and fixing points are checked once the old door is off, and any making good is agreed with you first.
Where an old electric door already has power near the box, the supply is checked before it is reused for the new door.
If only a lath or two is damaged on a sound door, we'll tell you that a repair may be better value.
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 Lerwick

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 Lerwick: questions

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in ZE1?

At a survey in ZE1 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 Lerwick 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.

How much does roller garage door replacement cost in Lerwick?

Our guide price for roller garage door replacement is from £1,195 inc VAT. The door price depends on the opening size, the specification and any extras. Travel to Lerwick is priced individually and shown in your written quote before you agree to anything.

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.
