What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Hove?
- Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
- Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
- Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
- Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Hove: questions
How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in Hove?
Our guide price for low-headroom roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Hove as elsewhere we cover.
Do you charge more for Hove than other towns in East Sussex?
No. Guide prices are the same for Hove as for anywhere else we cover in East Sussex. 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 you remove my old garage door in Hove?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Hove 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.
How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Hove?
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 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.
