Questions from St Neots customers
What if a low headroom door still will not fit?
A side sectional door that slides along the wall, or a compact roller door, are the usual alternatives.
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 I need planning permission for a new garage door in St Neots?
