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

Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Crewe: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Crewe?

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

Can I get a price for Crewe 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 I need permission for a new roller garage door in Crewe?

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.

Do you cover Crewe?

Yes. Crewe is part of the area we cover in Cheshire, including CW1 and CW2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
