Key questions about large sectional doors in Farnborough
When is a door oversized?
Anything taller than about 2.3 metres or wider than a typical double, roughly 5 metres, usually moves into larger spring and track specifications. Motorhome garages often need heights of 3 metres or more.
What about oak-framed and timber buildings?
Doors can be fixed to timber frames, but the fixings and any packers have to suit the frame, and green oak moves as it dries. The survey checks the frame and the fixing positions.
Which options are available in Farnborough?
- Shaft or rail operatorSpecified to the door size.
- High-lift tracksUse roof height so the door parks higher.
- Vision rowsWindows across one section.
- Heavier springsSpring sets sized to the larger door weight.

Questions from Farnborough customers
Will a large door need a special motor?
It needs an operator rated for its size and weight, which may be a heavier rail operator or a shaft-mounted unit.
Can a sectional door go in an oak barn?
Usually. The fixing method is matched to the frame, and allowance is made for timber movement.
Which parts of Farnborough do you cover?
We cover Farnborough across postcode districts GU14, GU17, along with nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Yateley. 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.
