Choosing an electric sectional door for a home in Tipton
What happens in a power cut?
Every electric sectional door has an emergency release, a cord inside that disconnects the carriage so the door can be lifted by hand. If the garage has no other way in, an external emergency release lock can be added.
Can my existing manual sectional be motorised?
Often, yes, if the door is in good order and properly balanced. Converting a manual door to powered operation changes the safety position, so the door must be checked and set up to the powered-door standards, not just fitted with a motor.
Options and upgrades for Tipton homes

- Belt or chain driveBelt drives are quieter; chain drives are hard-wearing.
- External releaseLockable external emergency release for garages with no other access.
How much does an electric sectional door cost in Tipton?
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 Tipton?
The planning authority for Tipton is Sandwell Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.
Operators normally run from a switched fused spur; adding one to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, but a new circuit falls under Part P.

Questions from Tipton customers
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.
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.
Which parts of Tipton do you cover?

Will Sandwell 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 Sandwell Council before ordering.
