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

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.
Check the height of what you park, including roof bars or a roof box, before choosing to fit the box under the lintel.
Think about how a visible face-fitted box would look on the front of your home before choosing that position.

Low-headroom roller garage doors in Chichester: questions

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Chichester?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.

Do you cover Chichester?

Yes. Chichester is part of the area we cover in West Sussex, including PO19 and PO18. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Chichester than other towns in West Sussex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Chichester as for anywhere else we cover in West Sussex. 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 the survey in Chichester 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 a smaller lath reduce the box size?

Lath size is one of the things that decides box size, because larger laths make a bigger roll. On narrower doors a smaller lath can help where headroom is tight. On wider doors, though, larger laths add the rigidity the curtain needs, so there's a balance to strike. We recommend the lath at survey based on your width, height and headroom.
