Double sectional garage doors in Rickmansworth

Double sectional garage doors: what matters for Rickmansworth garages

One wide door or two single doors?

If your garage has a central pier, two single doors may still make sense. If the opening is clear from side to side, one wide sectional door gives the most usable width and a cleaner look. On some properties removing a central pier is possible, but that is structural work needing proper design, not a decision to make on the doorstep.

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.

What rules apply in Rickmansworth?

The planning authority for Rickmansworth is the local district or borough council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
