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

Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
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 Ilkeston: questions

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

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

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

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.

Do you charge more for Ilkeston than other towns in Derbyshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ilkeston as for anywhere else we cover in Derbyshire. 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 get a price for Ilkeston 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 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.

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.
