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

Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.
Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Market Harborough: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Market Harborough?

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

Yes. Market Harborough is part of the area we cover in Leicestershire, including LE16. 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 LE16?

At a survey in LE16 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 Market Harborough than other towns in Leicestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Market Harborough as for anywhere else we cover in Leicestershire. 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.

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.
