Single sectional garage doors: what matters for Ellesmere Port garages
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.
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.

Questions from Ellesmere Port customers
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 take the old door away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old door can be included in your quote.
Do you cover Ellesmere Port?
Yes. We cover Ellesmere Port, including postcode districts CH64, CH65, CH66. 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 Ellesmere Port?
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.
