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

Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
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 Fleet: questions

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

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 Fleet garage so you can compare.

Is the survey in Fleet 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.

What do you check at a survey in GU51?

At a survey in GU51 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.

Do you cover Fleet?

Yes. Fleet is part of the area we cover in Hampshire, including GU51 and GU52. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
