Questions from Braintree customers
Can you match a side door to my existing sectional door?
Often, if the range and colour are still made. Bring the details or a photo and we check.
Do you fit side doors on their own?
Yes, if the opening is sound. Most customers order them with a new garage door.
Which parts of Braintree do you cover?
We cover Braintree across postcode districts CM7, CM77, along with nearby Witham, Chelmsford and Maldon. Dates 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.
