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

Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
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 Dunstable: questions

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

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 message you a photo of my garage in Dunstable?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Dunstable. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you charge more for Dunstable than other towns in Bedfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Dunstable as for anywhere else we cover in Bedfordshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Dunstable?

That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Dunstable garage so you can compare.

Can a smaller lath reduce the box size?

Lath size is one of the things that decides box size, because larger laths make a bigger roll. On narrower doors a smaller lath can help where headroom is tight. On wider doors, though, larger laths add the rigidity the curtain needs, so there's a balance to strike. We recommend the lath at survey based on your width, height and headroom.

Is there any garage where a roller door won't fit?

Occasionally an opening has no headroom inside, no wall above it outside for a face-fitted box, and too little height to lose any under the lintel. There can still be options, such as altering the lintel, which is priced on survey. If we can't find a sensible solution, we'll tell you plainly rather than fit something that won't work.
