What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Edinburgh?
- Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
- Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
- Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
- If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Edinburgh: questions
How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh as elsewhere we cover.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh garage so you can compare.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Edinburgh?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Scotland, and widening the opening needs a building warrant. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Can you remove my old garage door in Edinburgh?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Edinburgh 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.
Is an insulated door possible with low headroom?
Often, yes. Insulated laths make a larger roll than single-skin laths of the same height, so the box is bigger. If that box won't fit behind the lintel, it can go under the lintel or in front of the wall. We'll show you the clear height you'd keep with each option, so you can decide whether insulation is worth the trade-off.
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.
