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

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.
Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
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 Rotherham: questions

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

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 charge more for Rotherham than other towns in South Yorkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Rotherham as for anywhere else we cover in South Yorkshire. 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.

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

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 Rotherham garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in S60?

At a survey in S60 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 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.

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.
