Choosing a low headroom sectional door for a home in Paignton
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.
How much headroom does a standard door need?
Published figures for standard tracks run from about 100 mm to a little over 200 mm above the opening, depending on the range, the spring type, whether there is an operator and whether the door has a pass door. When that space is not there, a low headroom kit changes the track geometry and spring position to fit in less, with some systems quoting as little as 70 to 125 mm.
Which options are available in Paignton?
- Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.
- Low headroom trackTighter top radius so the door parks close to the ceiling.
- Rear-mounted springsMoves the spring shaft away from the opening.
How much does a low headroom sectional door cost in Paignton?
Guide price: £2,295–£3,295 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
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.
What rules apply in Paignton?
The planning authority for Paignton is Torbay 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.
