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

Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
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.

How does it work in Falkirk?

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Falkirk: questions

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

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 Falkirk garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in FK1?

At a survey in FK1 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 Falkirk than other towns in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Falkirk as for anywhere else we cover in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. 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 the survey in Falkirk really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

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.
