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

Questions about roller garage doors in Gillingham
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.
How long does fitting take?
Most single doors are fitted in a day, including removing the old door and setting up the safety devices.
Do you cover Gillingham?
Yes. Gillingham and the ME7 postcode district are part of our coverage across Kent.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Gillingham?
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.
