Sectional garage door installation in Surrey
Our new sectional garage door service covers Surrey: Woking, Guildford, Esher and Redhill, 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 Surrey?
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.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Old door removalRemoval and disposal included where quoted.
- HandoverDemonstration and safety checks.

How much does a new sectional garage door cost in Surrey?
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.
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.
What rules apply in Surrey?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning in Surrey is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council.
Most garage door operators run from a switched fused spur or socket. Adding a fused spur or socket to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, but a brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P and must be done by a registered electrician or signed off by building control.

Questions about sectional garage door installation in Surrey
Do I need to clear the garage?
Please clear the area just inside the opening and along both side walls and the ceiling for the length of the tracks.
How much does installation cost?
Installation is included in our supply-and-fit prices. A typical single door is around £2,095–£2,795 supplied and fitted.
How long does it take to install a sectional garage door?
Most domestic doors are fitted in one day once the door has been made. The quote gives the expected lead time for manufacture.
Which towns in Surrey do you cover?

Do I need planning permission in Surrey?
Usually not.

Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
