Questions from Sunderland 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 Sunderland?
Yes. We cover Sunderland, including postcode districts SR1, SR2, SR4, SR5, SR6, SR9. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Sunderland City 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 Sunderland City Council before ordering.
