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

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.
If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Canterbury: questions

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.

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

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 Canterbury as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

What do you check at a survey in CT1?

At a survey in CT1 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 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.

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.
