Low headroom sectional garage doors in Bridlington

Key questions about low headroom sectional doors in Bridlington

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.

What can you choose for your Bridlington garage?

• Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.

Planning and regulations for Bridlington homes

Bridlington falls under East Riding of Yorkshire Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

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.
