Sectional garage door installation in Kendal

Sectional garage door installation: what matters for Kendal garages

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.

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 need permission in Kendal?

If your property in Kendal is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Westmorland and Furness Council is the authority to check with before ordering.

In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

If the garage already has a socket near the operator position, no electrical notification is needed. A brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P in England.
