Questions from Tiverton 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.

Which parts of Tiverton do you cover?

We cover Tiverton across postcode districts EX16, along with nearby Exeter. Dates are agreed when you book.

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.
