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

Moving from single-skin to insulated laths reduces heat loss, draughts and noise in a garage you use every day.
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.
The opening is measured again at the free survey, so the new door suits the opening rather than copying the old door's size.

How does it work in Gillingham?

We measure the opening, check how the old door is fixed, and look at headroom, side room, the lintel and power. Your written quote lists the new door, extras, removal and disposal of the old one, and anything priced on survey.

Rules that apply in Gillingham

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 Gillingham: questions

Is the survey in Gillingham 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Gillingham?

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

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Gillingham?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Can I get a price for Gillingham 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.

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.

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.
