What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
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.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Newcastle-under-Lyme: questions

What do you check at a survey in ST5?

At a survey in ST5 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.

How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

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 Newcastle-under-Lyme as elsewhere we cover.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

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 Newcastle-under-Lyme garage so you can compare.

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Newcastle-under-Lyme?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

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.
