What if there is almost no headroom?
If even a low headroom kit will not fit, a side sectional door, which parks against a wall, or a roller door are the alternatives we will talk you through.
What changes on a low headroom door?
The springs may be moved to the rear of the tracks or replaced with a different spring system, and the top section follows a tighter path. The door works the same way from outside and looks the same.

Planning and regulations for Slough homes
The planning authority for Slough is Slough 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.

Questions from Slough customers
Will a low headroom door look different?
From the outside it looks the same as any sectional door in the same finish.
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.
Do you cover Slough?
Yes. We cover Slough, including postcode districts SL1, SL2, SL3, SL4. 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 Slough?
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 Slough Council.
Do you also cover towns near Slough?
Yes. Close to Slough we also cover Windsor (2 mi), Maidenhead (5 mi), Ascot (8 mi) and Bracknell (9 mi).
