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

Reveals, lintel and fixing points are checked once the old door is off, and any making good is agreed with you first.
Moving from single-skin to insulated laths reduces heat loss, draughts and noise in a garage you use every day.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
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 Rochester

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 Rochester: questions

What do you check at a survey in ME1?

At a survey in ME1 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.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Rochester 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Rochester?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Rochester address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

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

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 Rochester garage so you can compare.

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.

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.
