What should I know about roller garage door replacement in East Grinstead?

The opening is measured again at the free survey, so the new door suits the opening rather than copying the old door's size.
Security-rated models are available, and we show you the manufacturer's certificate for the exact door being quoted.
If only a lath or two is damaged on a sound door, we'll tell you that a repair may be better value.
Springs on old manual doors hold stored energy, so our fitters release them with the proper tools before dismantling anything.

Rules that apply in East Grinstead

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 East Grinstead: questions

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

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 you remove my old garage door in East Grinstead?

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

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 East Grinstead garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in RH19?

At a survey in RH19 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.

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.
