Low headroom sectional garage doors: what matters for Peckham garages
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 Peckham garage?
- Low headroom trackTighter top radius so the door parks close to the ceiling.
- Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.
- Rear-mounted springsMoves the spring shaft away from the opening.

Questions from Peckham customers
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.
Will a low headroom door look different?
From the outside it looks the same as any sectional door in the same finish.
Do you cover Peckham?
Yes. We cover Peckham, including postcode districts SE5, SE14, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE22. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will the local London 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 London borough council before ordering.

Yes. Close to Peckham we also cover Brixton (2 mi), Central London (3 mi), Battersea (4 mi) and Chelsea (4 mi).
