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

If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Chelsea: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Chelsea?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in Chelsea?

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 Chelsea as elsewhere we cover.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Chelsea?

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

Do you cover Chelsea?

Yes. Chelsea is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW3, SW10 and SW7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
