Choosing an electric sectional door for a home in Stoke-on-Trent
Can I control it from my phone?
Many current operators accept a smart module or have one built in, so you can open, close and check the door from an app. This is useful for deliveries and for checking you shut the door, though it should never replace the safety systems on the door itself.
How does the operator work?
A motor unit is fixed to the garage ceiling and connected to the top section of the door by a carriage running on a rail. When you press the handset, the carriage pulls the door up the tracks while the springs on the door do most of the lifting. The motor only has to guide a door that is already balanced.

What will an electric sectional door cost in Stoke-on-Trent?
Guide price: £2,095–£3,495 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in Stoke-on-Trent?
Stoke-on-Trent falls under Stoke-on-Trent City 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.
If the garage already has a socket near the operator position, no electrical notification is needed. A brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P in England.

Questions from Stoke-on-Trent customers
Are electric garage doors safe with children and pets?
A correctly set up powered door limits closing force and reverses on contact, and photocells stop it closing when the beam is broken. We test these on fitting day and recommend testing them monthly.
Will the door open in a power cut?
Yes, by hand. Pull the emergency release cord and the door can be lifted manually. Some operators also accept a backup battery.

Yes. We cover Stoke-on-Trent, including postcode districts ST1, ST2, ST4, ST5. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Stoke-on-Trent?
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, check with Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
