What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Clacton-on-Sea?

Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
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.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Clacton-on-Sea: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Clacton-on-Sea?

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 Clacton-on-Sea garage so you can compare.

How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in Clacton-on-Sea?

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 Clacton-on-Sea as elsewhere we cover.

Can you remove my old garage door in Clacton-on-Sea?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Clacton-on-Sea 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.

What do you check at a survey in CO15?

At a survey in CO15 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 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.

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.
