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

Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.
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.
If only a lath or two is damaged on a sound door, we'll tell you that a repair may be better value.

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 Washington

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 Washington: questions

Is the survey in Washington 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.

Do you charge more for Washington than other towns in Tyne and Wear?

No. Guide prices are the same for Washington as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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 Washington?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Washington 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.

How much does roller garage door replacement cost in Washington?

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 Washington as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
