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

Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
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.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.

Once you accept the quote, your fitting date is confirmed in writing, depending on installer availability. On the day, the box is fixed exactly where the quote says.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Newmarket: questions

Is the survey in Newmarket 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.

Do you charge more for Newmarket than other towns in Suffolk?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newmarket as for anywhere else we cover in Suffolk. 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.

Can I get a price for Newmarket 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.

What do you check at a survey in CB8?

At a survey in CB8 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 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.

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.
