Questions from Seaham customers
Is there a step to get through a pass door?
Yes, there is a threshold. Low-threshold versions reduce it on some ranges.
Can a pass door be added to my existing sectional door?
Not usually. The pass door is built into the door at the factory, so it is ordered with a new door.
Which parts of Seaham do you cover?
We cover Seaham across postcode districts SR7, along with nearby Peterlee, Chester-le-Street and Durham. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Durham County Council need to approve my new garage door?
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. If in doubt, ask Durham County Council before ordering.
