When an up-and-over door in Leigh is replaced, the old door and frame come out and the new roller door is fixed to the brickwork or a timber subframe.
Width, height and the headroom behind the lintel decide the door size; the survey in Leigh checks all three, plus where the motor can be powered.

Rules that apply in Leigh
As an English town, Leigh follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much is an electric roller garage door?
A single insulated electric roller door is usually £1,395–£2,195 including VAT, supplied and fitted. Double doors are typically £2,195–£3,495, and removing and disposing of an old up-and-over door is usually £95–£195 extra.
Are roller garage doors insulated?
The doors we recommend use foam-filled aluminium laths, which reduce heat loss and noise compared with a single-skin steel up-and-over door.
Is the survey free in Leigh?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Leigh are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Leigh?
Possibly. Swapping a garage door in the same opening is not usually a planning matter, but some estates have conditions on front elevations and listed buildings need consent. We recommend checking with your local council first.
