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

Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
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 Streatham: questions

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

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 Streatham as elsewhere we cover.

Can you remove my old garage door in Streatham?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Streatham 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.

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

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.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Streatham as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

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.

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.
