Electric sectional garage doors: what matters for Lancing garages
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.
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 can you choose for your Lancing garage?
- Smart controlApp control through a module or built-in Wi-Fi on selected operators.
- Handsets and wall buttonUsually two handsets plus an internal push button; extra handsets available.
- Belt or chain driveBelt drives are quieter; chain drives are hard-wearing.
- External releaseLockable external emergency release for garages with no other access.
What will an electric sectional door cost in Lancing?
Guide price: £2,095–£3,495 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
Do you need permission in Lancing?
The planning authority for Lancing 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.
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.
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 Lancing customers
Can I add more remotes later?
Yes. Extra handsets can be coded to most operators, and we can do this on a service visit.
Can you fit an electric door if I do not have a socket in the garage?
Yes. We note it at survey and include the electrical work needed on your quote, or you can have your own electrician fit a switched fused spur or socket before fitting day.

Will the local district or borough 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 the local district or borough council before ordering.
