What should I know about low-headroom roller garage doors in Newcastle upon Tyne?

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.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.
Measure from the underside of the lintel to the ceiling or lowest obstruction inside, because that figure decides where the box can go.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

Do you charge more for Newcastle upon Tyne than other towns in Tyne and Wear?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newcastle upon Tyne as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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 an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Newcastle upon Tyne?

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 upon Tyne garage so you can compare.

What do you check at a survey in NE1?

At a survey in NE1 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 the survey in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.

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.

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.
