Low headroom sectional garage doors: what matters for Margate garages
What changes on a low headroom door?
The springs may be moved to the rear of the tracks or replaced with a different spring system, and the top section follows a tighter path. The door works the same way from outside and looks the same.
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.
Options and upgrades for Margate homes

Questions from Margate 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.

Yes. We cover Margate, including postcode districts CT8, CT9, CT10, CT11, CT12. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and 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.
