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

If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.
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.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.

Rules that apply in Caterham

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Caterham: questions

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

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.

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

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 Caterham garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Caterham 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Caterham?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Caterham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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.
