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

If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
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 Leytonstone: questions

What do you check at a survey in E11?

At a survey in E11 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 Leytonstone 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.

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

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 cover Leytonstone?

Yes. Leytonstone is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including E11, E10 and E17. 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.
