What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Stonehaven?

Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Stonehaven: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Stonehaven?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Stonehaven address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Stonehaven?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

What do you check at a survey in AB39?

At a survey in AB39 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Stonehaven?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Can I move pipes or a light to make room for the box?

Sometimes that's the simplest answer. If a pipe, cable or light fitting sits just where the box needs to go, moving it may let the box go behind the lintel in the usual way. Any electrical changes should be made by a qualified electrician. We'll point out obstructions at survey and include any work we're doing in the written quote.

Does a face-fitted roller box look out of place?

It's a matter of taste. A face-fitted box sits on the front of the wall above the opening, so it's visible, but it can be finished to match the curtain, and it avoids losing height under the lintel. If you live on a newer estate or in a conservation area, check any covenants or planning restrictions first.
