Sectional garage door installation in Wiltshire
Our new sectional garage door service covers Wiltshire: Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham, 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 Wiltshire?
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 paperwork will I get?
You get the door details, warranty information and, for powered doors, the safety checks carried out at handover, plus guidance on using the emergency release.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- HandoverDemonstration and safety checks.
- Making goodTrims and finishing round the opening.
- Free surveyFor new doors and upgrades.

How much does a new sectional garage door cost in Wiltshire?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,795 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
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 Wiltshire?
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 authorities in Wiltshire include Swindon Council and Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire
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.
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.
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to be there at the start and for the handover at the end, so we can agree the details and show you how everything works.
Which towns in Wiltshire do you cover?
We cover Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham, Melksham, Warminster and Calne and other towns across Wiltshire.
Do I need planning permission in Wiltshire?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
