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

Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
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 Kelso: questions

Can I get a price for Kelso 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.

Do you cover Kelso?

Yes. Kelso is part of the area we cover in the Scottish Borders, including TD5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Kelso as elsewhere we cover.

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

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.

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.

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.
