Questions from Bedford customers

Can I have a manual door and add a motor later?

Usually, yes, as long as the door is suitable for powered operation and is set up and checked to the powered-door safety standard when the motor goes on.

Can a sectional door fit my existing opening?

In most cases, yes. We check headroom above the opening, side room for the tracks and the depth of the garage at survey.

Which parts of Bedford do you cover?

We cover Bedford across postcode districts MK40, MK41, MK42, along with nearby Ampthill. Dates are agreed when you book.

Will Bedford Borough 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 Bedford Borough Council before ordering.
