Questions from Pontefract customers
Can you fit a sectional door to a motorhome garage?
Yes, provided the building has the height and structure for the tracks and the door. We measure headroom, side room and depth at survey.
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.

Yes. We cover Pontefract, including postcode districts WF7, WF8, WF10, WF11. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Pontefract?
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 Wakefield Council.
