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

Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
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.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Canary Wharf: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Canary Wharf?

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 Canary Wharf garage so you can compare.

Can you remove my old garage door in Canary Wharf?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Canary Wharf 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Canary Wharf?

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

Is the survey in Canary Wharf really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

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.

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.
