Choosing a low headroom sectional door for a home in Chippenham
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.
Can a low headroom door be electric?
Yes. Operators are available for low headroom installations, though the operator position and rail length must suit the reduced space.

Questions from Chippenham customers
Will a low headroom door look different?
From the outside it looks the same as any sectional door in the same finish.
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.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Chippenham?
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 Wiltshire Council.
