What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Tyne and Wear?

Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
Remember that taller doors and larger laths both need bigger boxes, which affects what will fit in a tight space.
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 England

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.

Powered door safety

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.

Questions about low-headroom roller garage doors in Tyne and Wear

How do I book a survey in Tyne and Wear?

Start with the guide price tool or the form on this page. We then contact you to arrange a free survey for a new door, replacement or conversion, and confirm the date in writing.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Are guide prices the same across Tyne and Wear?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Tyne and Wear. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

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.

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.
