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

Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
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 March: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in March?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your March 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.

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

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.

How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in March?

Our guide price for low-headroom roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in March as elsewhere we cover.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for March 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 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.
