Questions from Arbroath customers
How little headroom can a sectional door work with?
It depends on the range and door size. Some low headroom systems quote figures from about 70 mm for manual doors, with more needed once an operator is added. The survey measures exactly what you have and matches a system to it.
Will a low headroom door look different?
From the outside it looks the same as any sectional door in the same finish.
Which parts of Arbroath do you cover?
We cover Arbroath across postcode districts DD11, along with nearby Carnoustie and Forfar. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Angus Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, ask Angus Council before ordering.
