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.
