Choosing a low headroom sectional door for a home in Kidsgrove
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.
Options and upgrades for Kidsgrove homes
- Low headroom trackTighter top radius so the door parks close to the ceiling.
- Rear-mounted springsMoves the spring shaft away from the opening.
- Matched operatorOperator and bracket suited to the low headroom set-up.

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 Kidsgrove?
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 the local district or borough council.
