Questions from Eccles 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.
How much is a low headroom sectional garage door?
Low headroom doors are typically around £2,295–£3,295 supplied and fitted, as the special track and spring parts add to the cost.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Eccles?
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, check with Salford City Council.
