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

If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
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.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Catford: questions

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Catford?

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.

Do you charge more for Catford than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Catford as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Catford?

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

Is the survey in Catford 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.

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.

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.
