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

Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
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.
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 East Ham: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in East Ham?

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 East Ham garage so you can compare.

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in E6?

At a survey in E6 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.

Is the survey in East Ham 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.

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.

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.
