Sectional garage door installation in Strabane

Choosing a new sectional garage door for a home in Strabane

What is checked at survey?

We measure the opening width and height, headroom above the opening, side room either side, the depth of the garage, and the condition of the brickwork, lintel and floor. We also look at power for an operator and anything that could get in the way of the tracks.

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.

Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.

Do you need permission in Strabane?

Planning questions for homes in Strabane go to Derry City and Strabane District Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.

Northern Ireland planning rules usually allow a replacement garage door in the same opening. Check with the council planning office first if the property is listed or in a conservation area.

Northern Ireland has no Part P equivalent, but electrical work for an operator should still be done to BS 7671 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.
