Rules that apply in Cheshunt
Cheshunt is in England, so planning decisions sit with 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does fitting take?
Most single doors are fitted in a day, including removing the old door and setting up the safety devices.
Can a roller door replace my up-and-over door?
Yes. It fits the same opening, usually behind it on the inside, and gives you back the full width and the ceiling space.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Cheshunt?
It depends on the property. 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. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Cheshunt?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Cheshunt are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
