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

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.
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.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Maidstone: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Maidstone?

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

Do you cover Maidstone?

Yes. Maidstone is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME16, ME15 and ME14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What do you check at a survey in ME16?

At a survey in ME16 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.

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

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 Maidstone garage so you can compare.

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.

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.
