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

Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Ely: questions

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

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

Can I get a price for Ely without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Do you charge more for Ely than other towns in Cambridgeshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ely as for anywhere else we cover in Cambridgeshire. 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Ely?

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 Ely. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Is an insulated door possible with low headroom?

Often, yes. Insulated laths make a larger roll than single-skin laths of the same height, so the box is bigger. If that box won't fit behind the lintel, it can go under the lintel or in front of the wall. We'll show you the clear height you'd keep with each option, so you can decide whether insulation is worth the trade-off.

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.
