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

Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
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.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Consett: questions

What do you check at a survey in DH8?

At a survey in DH8 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 Consett?

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 get a price for Consett 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.

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

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

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.

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.
