What should I know about steel roller garage doors in Kingston upon Thames?

Look at the brick or blockwork on each side of the opening, as the guide rails for a steel door need solid reveals to fix to.
Check the lintel above the opening for cracks or sagging, since a heavier steel curtain relies on sound fixings at the top.
Decide where the override handle will be stored, because you'll need it to wind a steel curtain up during a power cut.
Think about whether battery backup is worth adding, so the door keeps working for a limited number of cycles when the power is off.

Rules that apply in Kingston upon Thames

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.

Steel roller garage doors in Kingston upon Thames: questions

Can I get a price for Kingston upon Thames 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.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Kingston upon Thames?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Kingston upon Thames?

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

Do you charge more for Kingston upon Thames than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Kingston upon Thames as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 I repaint a steel roller door later?

When you order a new steel door, you can choose a RAL colour or woodgrain finish as a priced extra, and colours outside the manufacturer's range are priced on survey. If you're thinking of repainting the door years later, check the manufacturer's care guidance first, as their warranty terms for the door are set out in writing in your quote.

Is a steel door the right choice for a row of lock-ups?

It can be, particularly where a stiffer curtain appeals for garages that are opened less often. Every steel door in our price list is electric, though, so each garage needs a power supply near its box. Where lock-ups have no power, manual aluminium doors may be more practical. We can survey and price a whole row together.
