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 Forres?
Forres falls under Moray Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
In Scotland a door that does not materially change the look of the house is not usually development. A visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent.

Yes. We cover Forres, including postcode districts IV36. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Moray Council need to approve my new garage door?
