Questions from Ipswich customers
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.
Is there a step to get through a pass door?
Yes, there is a threshold. Low-threshold versions reduce it on some ranges.
Do you cover Ipswich?
Yes. We cover Ipswich, including postcode districts IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Ipswich?
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, check with the local district or borough council.
