What to check in Cardiff before ordering
In Cardiff, as elsewhere in Wales, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the county or county borough council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
- 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.

Questions about roller garage doors in Cardiff
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.
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.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Cardiff?
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.
Is the survey free in Cardiff?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Cardiff are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
