Sectional garage door installation in County Antrim
Our new sectional garage door service covers County Antrim: Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
Sectional garage door installation is the process of surveying the opening, ordering a door made to measure, removing the old door, fixing the tracks and frame, hanging and balancing the panels on their springs, fitting the operator and testing every safety feature. Done well, it is usually a single day on site after a few weeks of manufacture.

What should you know about new sectional garage doors in County Antrim?
What happens on fitting day?
The old door is taken out, the opening is prepared, the frame and vertical tracks go in, the horizontal tracks are hung from the ceiling, the panels are assembled section by section, and the springs are fitted and set. The operator is fitted last, then everything is tested.
Do you supply doors for others to fit?
This service is supply and fit. Spring-loaded doors are dangerous to install without training, which is why we fit what we supply.
Why does balancing matter?
A balanced door should stay roughly where you leave it part-open. If the springs are set too light or too heavy, the door wears faster and the operator works harder. Balancing is a key step we never skip.

How much does a new sectional garage door cost in County Antrim?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,795 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in County Antrim?
In Northern Ireland, fitting a new door within an existing opening generally does not need planning permission. If the property is listed, in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction, check with your council planning office before ordering, as consent may be needed for changes to the outside of the building.
Planning authorities in County Antrim include Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, Belfast City Council, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council and Mid and East Antrim Borough Council.
Domestic electrical work in Northern Ireland is not covered by a Part P equivalent, but it should still be carried out to BS 7671 by a competent electrician and certified.
Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.
