What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Derry/Londonderry?

  • Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
  • 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 Derry/Londonderry: questions

Is the survey in Derry/Londonderry really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Derry/Londonderry?

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 Derry/Londonderry garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in BT48?

At a survey in BT48 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Derry/Londonderry?

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

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.
