Fitting roller garage doors in London
When an up-and-over door in London is replaced, the old door and frame come out and the new roller door is fixed to the brickwork or a timber subframe.
A roller garage door is normally installed in a day, with the motor, remotes and safety edge set up and tested before handover.
London is part of our Greater London coverage, and addresses in London's postcode districts are covered in the same way as the rest of Greater London. Westminster, Pimlico and Islington are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Planning and safety in London
In London, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Power cut: Every powered door has a manual release so it can be opened by hand. If the garage is your only way into the house, ask about battery backup.
- Planning: Replacing a garage door is not usually a planning matter, but listed buildings and conditions on newer estates can restrict changes, so check if unsure.
- Safety devices: Powered doors need force limiting or a safety edge and must be set up and tested at installation. We hand over the instructions and a record of the settings.
