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

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.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Pimlico: questions

Can I get a price for Pimlico without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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

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

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 Pimlico as elsewhere we cover.

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.
