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

If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Tunbridge Wells: questions

What do you check at a survey in TN1?

At a survey in TN1 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.

Do you charge more for Tunbridge Wells than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Tunbridge Wells as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Tunbridge Wells?

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.

Do you cover Tunbridge Wells?

Yes. Tunbridge Wells is part of the area we cover in Kent, including TN1, TN3 and TN4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
