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

Ask to see the clear opening height you would keep with each box position before you settle on one.
Look for pipes, cables, lights or joists just above the opening, as moving one may free up room for the box behind the lintel.
Consider where the power supply would reach the motor if the box ends up under the lintel or on the outside wall.
If your home is on a newer estate, read your deeds for any covenant that covers changes to the front of the garage.

Rules that apply in Swindon

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 Swindon: questions

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 Swindon as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Swindon than other towns in Wiltshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Swindon as for anywhere else we cover in Wiltshire. 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.

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 an insulated door possible with low headroom?

Often, yes. Insulated laths make a larger roll than single-skin laths of the same height, so the box is bigger. If that box won't fit behind the lintel, it can go under the lintel or in front of the wall. We'll show you the clear height you'd keep with each option, so you can decide whether insulation is worth the trade-off.
