What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Letchworth Garden City?

Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
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.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Letchworth Garden City: questions

Can I get a price for Letchworth Garden City 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.

Is the survey in Letchworth Garden City 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.

Do you cover Letchworth Garden City?

Yes. Letchworth Garden City is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including SG6, SG5 and SG15. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Letchworth Garden City?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

Does a face-fitted roller box look out of place?

It's a matter of taste. A face-fitted box sits on the front of the wall above the opening, so it's visible, but it can be finished to match the curtain, and it avoids losing height under the lintel. If you live on a newer estate or in a conservation area, check any covenants or planning restrictions first.

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.
