Single sectional garage doors: what matters for Chester garages
Can you widen the drive-through width?
Many single sectional doors are fitted behind the opening, which can give a slightly wider clear opening than the old frame allowed. The survey shows what clear width you will end up with.
What are the usual sizes?
Common UK openings are about 7 by 7 feet (2134 by 2134 mm), 7 feet 6 by 7 feet, and 8 by 7 feet (2438 by 2134 mm), but older and newer garages vary. The door is made to your measured opening.

- Insulated panelsDouble-skin panels with foam core.
- Window insertsDaylight panels in one section.
- ColoursStandard colours or RAL colours on most ranges.
- Manual or electricManual lock and handle, or operator with remotes.
What will a single sectional door cost in Chester?
Guide price: £1,695–£3,195 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
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.
Do you need permission in Chester?
The planning authority for Chester is Cheshire West and Chester Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.

Questions from Chester customers
Do you take the old door away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old door can be included in your quote.
Will I lose headroom inside the garage?
The door parks under the ceiling, so the clear height inside is reduced by the parked door and tracks. On low ceilings a low-headroom track keeps the door tighter to the ceiling.
Do you cover Chester?
Yes. We cover Chester, including postcode districts CH1, CH2. 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 Chester?
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 Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Yes. Close to Chester we also cover Ellesmere Port (6 mi), Runcorn (12 mi), Widnes (14 mi) and Winsford (15 mi).
