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

If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
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.
Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.

Once you accept the quote, your fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer availability. On the day, the box is fixed exactly where the quote says.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Hythe: questions

Is the survey in Hythe 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Hythe?

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

Can I get a price for Hythe 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 cover Hythe?

Yes. Hythe is part of the area we cover in Hampshire, including SO45. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
