Key questions about new sectional garage doors in Derry

Do you supply doors for others to fit?

This service is supply and fit. Spring-loaded doors are dangerous to install without training, which is why we fit what we supply.

What is checked at survey?

We measure the opening width and height, headroom above the opening, side room either side, the depth of the garage, and the condition of the brickwork, lintel and floor. We also look at power for an operator and anything that could get in the way of the tracks.

At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.

Do you need permission in Derry?

Derry falls under Derry City and Strabane District Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

In Northern Ireland a new door within the existing opening generally needs no planning permission. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the exceptions.

A socket for an operator in Northern Ireland should be installed to BS 7671 by a competent electrician.

Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.
