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

Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
We take down and dispose of the old roller or up-and-over door, and that is included in every door price.
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.

How does it work in Chatham?

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 Chatham

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 Chatham: questions

Can I get a price for Chatham 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.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Chatham?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Chatham garage so you can compare.

Do you charge more for Chatham than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Chatham as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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.

What do you check at a survey in ME4?

At a survey in ME4 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.

How long will a new roller garage door last?

Lifespan depends on use, exposure and care rather than a fixed number of years. Keeping the guide rails clean, using only the lubricant the manufacturer allows, testing the safety devices monthly and having the door serviced all help. The manufacturer's warranty terms for your door and motor are set out in writing in your quote.

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.
