Questions from Strood 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.
Do I need more headroom for a double door?

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Strood?
