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

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.
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 Melton Mowbray?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Melton Mowbray are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Melton Mowbray?
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.
