Planning and safety in Tonbridge
In Tonbridge, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
What if the power fails?
Each door has a manual release inside the garage so it can be opened by hand. Battery backup is available if the garage is your only entrance.
How long does fitting take?
Most single doors are fitted in a day, including removing the old door and setting up the safety devices.
Is the survey free in Tonbridge?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Tonbridge are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Tonbridge?
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.
