Frome isn't far so I'll look them up. Cheers chap.

Possibly - it will be 9.5m by 5.5m so a decent size (for the UK anyway!) I imagine 3 sets of sliding doors could be arranged. Worth looking at. I have no experience of this but that was my exact thought. Conservation officer thinks otherwise. I figured that as the roof sheets are fixed onto...

That's useful, thanks Phil. The house is thatched and that costs enough to redo every so often so I'll steer away from that! I don't honestly think they would mind what the tiles are as long as they are the real thing. I offered lots of modern, lightweight looky likey products but it was a big...

I want the internal space to be as uncluttered as possible to allow a 4 post ramp where I want it but I also need to keep the ridge height down to keep the neighbours happy. Timber always seems to have internal rafters which take up the space I need. I looked at an oak frame which was lovely but...

I'd deliberately avoided "wood effect" as its can look a bit naff. I doubt it would be accepted but I'm open to anything about now! I suspect only "barn style" doors will be accepted which isn't what I want as I want them automated and open doors sticking into the turning area will take up more...

Oh if it were that easy! Generally the answer to that sort of question is "You must submit a proposal for our consideration and we will respond" I am waiting for an answer to a few questions but what exactly comes I have no idea. They may or may not be helpful. They certainly won't mention...

First post so be kind! My house is very old and a "listed building" in the UK. I'd like metal roller doors on my new garage but the powers that be have rejected the idea, they want timber. Has anyone come across a firm that makes roller doors but with timber slats? They may not accept this...
