What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Vale of Leven?

Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
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.
Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.

What do you check at a survey in G82?

At a survey in G82 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.

Do you cover Vale of Leven?

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.
