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

Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
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 South Croydon: questions

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in South Croydon?

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 South Croydon garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in CR2?

At a survey in CR2 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in South Croydon?

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

Can you remove my old garage door in South Croydon?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your South Croydon address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

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.

Is an insulated door possible with low headroom?

Often, yes. Insulated laths make a larger roll than single-skin laths of the same height, so the box is bigger. If that box won't fit behind the lintel, it can go under the lintel or in front of the wall. We'll show you the clear height you'd keep with each option, so you can decide whether insulation is worth the trade-off.
