Sible Hedingham is where RollRite is. The unit sits at Cherrytree Farm on Blackmore End Road and the vans go out from the village every morning, so if your garage is here we are not travelling to you. We measure the opening as it actually is, timber lintel and uneven reveals included, build the door to fit it and fit it ourselves, usually in a single visit. Free on-site survey, fixed written quote, no hidden extras.
A roller door suits village garages for a simple reason: nothing moves outside the opening. The curtain rolls vertically into a compact top box, so nothing swings out over a gravel drive and nothing runs back along the ceiling of a low outbuilding. You keep the full width and height of the opening, and you keep the roof space above whatever is stored up there.
Every RollRite door is made to measure from foam-filled aluminium slats with an insulated core, which is what allows us to work with the openings around here rather than around them. A manual override is included on every door for power cuts, and the motor runs from a standard 13-amp socket. The remote control packages add two handheld remotes and a safety edge; the entry packages are operated by an external key switch outside the garage.
There are two slat profiles. The 55mm profile covers standard single openings up to 2.6 metres wide, which is most cottage and terrace garages in the village. The 77mm profile handles wider or more exposed openings up to about 5 metres, which is usually a barn, a cart lodge or a farmyard door out on the lanes. Both are available as a full electric package with remote operation, a safety edge and automatic locking.

The 55mm slat does most of the work in this village. Openings on the cottages, the Victorian terraces and the mid-century housing are almost all single garage width, up to 2.6 metres, and the 12.5mm high-density foam core gives you insulation and a quiet run without adding bulk to the roll. On a shallow outbuilding that smaller roll diameter is the difference between a door that fits and a door that does not.
Out on the lanes the openings change. Barns, cart lodges and workshop bays are often far wider than a house garage and stand in the open with nothing between them and the weather. The 77mm profile uses thicker 18mm insulated slats for spans up to about 5 metres and holds its shape better in wind, which is what you want on a farmyard elevation rather than a sheltered terrace.
We are five minutes away. We measure the opening, check the headroom above it and leave you with a fixed written quote and no obligation.
Sible Hedingham is a village in the Braintree district of north Essex, set in the Colne valley with Castle Hedingham immediately next door. It is also home. RollRite work out of Cherrytree Farm on Blackmore End Road, which makes this the one page on the site where local is not a figure of speech: the roads on it are the roads we drive before we drive anywhere else, and Halstead is about ten minutes away.
The village has a longer memory than its size suggests. Sir John Hawkwood, the medieval English soldier who went on to command mercenary companies in Italy, came from Sible Hedingham, and there is a Hawkwood memorial in the parish church of St Peter. Next door at Castle Hedingham the Norman castle keep still stands above the valley. The Colne valley villages made their living from weaving and brickmaking, and the brick and timber along the main road still shows it.
RollRite serve homeowners here and across the county with made-to-measure roller garage doors in Essex. Being based in the village means a survey is a short drive rather than a scheduled trip, whether the garage is a cottage outbuilding, a converted cart lodge or a double on one of the newer closes.
The village is a mix rather than an estate pattern, and the garages follow the houses. Timber-framed and brick cottages along the main road, Victorian terraces behind them, a band of mid-century local authority built housing, a few modern infill closes, and then farmhouses with barns and cart lodges out on the lanes. What that means in practice is that most garages here are detached outbuildings rather than integral: old brick or timber, sometimes a converted workshop, and usually narrower and lower than anything built today.
Those openings are where made-to-measure stops being a sales line. A timber lintel and uneven brick reveals will defeat an off-the-shelf size, and the roll box still needs 205mm to 300mm of headroom above the opening plus roughly 75mm clear each side for the guide runners. On a low cottage or barn opening that one measurement decides the whole job, so we take it properly before anything is ordered and we come back and check if there is any doubt. Our guide to getting a garage ready for installation covers what we look at while we are there.
Colour matters more here than it does on a new estate. A bright white curtain can look wrong against old brick and weathered timber, which is why Chartwell Green, golden oak woodgrain, dark brown and the greens tend to win in the village; any colour other than white adds a flat £100. Lane-side properties usually have gravel or shingle rather than block paving, and that is another quiet argument for a roller door: nothing swings out over the loose surface, so you can park right up to the garage on a short drive.

We come out from Cherrytree Farm, measure the opening and check the headroom and side clearance you have.
You get a written quote covering the door, the motor, the operation you have chosen and the installation.
Your door is made to the measurements we took, in your chosen colour and slat profile.
We fit the guide runners, curtain, top box, motor and controls, and take the old door away with us.
We set the motor limits, test the safety edge where one is fitted and set up your operation.
We show you the manual override and basic care before we leave, and we are five minutes away afterwards.
Sible Hedingham is where our vans start, so the towns and villages around it are the ones we are in most often.
Fully fitted and including VAT, a 55mm door starts at £1,275 with external key switch operation and a manual override, or £1,325 for the thicker 12.5mm slats. Remote control packages start at £1,475 with two handheld remotes and a hard-wired safety edge, or £1,575 with a wireless safety edge. The 77mm profile starts at £1,790, and a 5 metre wide 77mm door is typically around £3,000. Any colour other than white adds a flat £100 and an extra remote is £40. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
Yes. The unit is at Cherrytree Farm on Blackmore End Road, and every door we fit across Essex leaves the village in the morning. It is the reason this page reads differently from the rest of the site: the team live and work here. A survey in the village is a five minute drive, and going back to re-measure an awkward cottage opening before ordering costs us nothing but the walk down the lane. Halstead is about ten minutes away. Call 01376 800 750 if you would rather talk it through first.
Usually, but the measurement decides it rather than the door. Garages in the village are often detached outbuildings rather than integral: old brick or timber, sometimes a converted workshop or cart lodge, and lower and narrower than a modern opening. A roller door needs roughly 75mm clear each side for the guide runners and 205mm to 300mm of headroom above the opening for the top box. Where the headroom is genuinely too tight we say so at the survey rather than on fitting day, and every door is made to the opening we have measured.
Yes. Castle Hedingham is the next village along, so it is the same short trip as our own, and Halstead is about ten minutes down the road. Beyond that we work regularly across Braintree, out to Sudbury and down to Colchester. Because the vans start from Sible Hedingham rather than from a depot somewhere else in the county, the Colne valley lanes are the easiest part of the week to fit in, and a survey here does not have to wait for a run of jobs in the same direction.
Replacing an existing garage door is normally permitted development, so most homes in the village need no permission at all. The exception is a listed building or a property inside a conservation area, which is worth checking in a village of older cottages and converted farm buildings. Braintree District Council can confirm whether either applies to your address before you order. We flag anything we notice at the free survey, and a woodgrain or a softer heritage colour often sits better against old brick than white does anyway.
