Key questions about double sectional doors in South Ockendon

What sizes are common in the UK?

Many older double garages have openings of about 14 feet by 7 feet (roughly 4267 by 2134 mm) or 16 feet by 7 feet (about 4877 by 2134 mm). New builds vary, which is why every door is made to the measured opening rather than to a stock size.

How long does fitting take?

A double sectional door is still usually a one-day job for a two-person team, including removal of the old door, unless the opening needs building work first.

Do you need permission in South Ockendon?

South Ockendon falls under Thurrock Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from South Ockendon customers

How much is a double sectional garage door?

A double insulated sectional door, supplied and fitted with an electric operator, is typically around £3,295–£4,995, depending on width, finish and glazing.

Can you replace two single doors with one double sectional?

Only if the central pier can be removed safely. That needs structural assessment and often a new lintel, which is arranged separately before the door is ordered.

Do you cover South Ockendon?

Yes. We cover South Ockendon, including postcode districts RM15, RM16, RM17, RM19, RM20. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.

Will Thurrock Council need to approve my new garage door?

Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, ask Thurrock Council before ordering.

Do you also cover towns near South Ockendon?

Yes. Close to South Ockendon we also cover Grays (3 mi), Stanford-le-Hope (7 mi), Brentwood (8 mi) and Basildon (9 mi).
