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

Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under 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.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Shirley: questions

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

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 Shirley garage so you can compare.

Can I get a price for Shirley 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.

How much do low-headroom roller garage doors cost in Shirley?

Our guide price for low-headroom roller garage doors is from £1,195 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Shirley as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Shirley?

Yes. Shirley is part of the area we cover in the West Midlands, including B90, B28 and B91. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
