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

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.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Hitchin: questions

What do you check at a survey in SG5?

At a survey in SG5 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 you remove my old garage door in Hitchin?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Hitchin 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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Hitchin?

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 Hitchin garage so you can compare.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Hitchin?

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

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.

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.
