What should Chippenham homeowners know about large sectional doors?
Can large doors be insulated and glazed?
Yes. Most large doors use insulated panels, and window rows or vision panels can be added to bring light into a long garage.
How are lead times affected?

Questions from Chippenham 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.
Do you cover Chippenham?
Yes. We cover Chippenham, including postcode districts SN15. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire Council before ordering.
