Single sectional garage doors in County Antrim
Our single sectional door service covers County Antrim: Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A single sectional garage door covers a one-car opening, usually around 2.1 to 2.6 metres wide, with four or so horizontal panels that lift up and back along tracks to sit under the ceiling. It is the most common replacement for an old up-and-over door on UK homes, and it gives back the space a canopy door swings into.

What should you know about single sectional doors in County Antrim?
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.
Why replace an up-and-over with a single sectional?
An up-and-over door tilts out and up, so you cannot park close to it and it eats into the width of the opening. A sectional door lifts straight up, keeps the full width usable, seals better and is easier to motorise.
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.
Which options can you choose?

What rules apply in County Antrim?
In Northern Ireland, fitting a new door within an existing opening generally does not need planning permission. If the property is listed, in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction, check with your council planning office before ordering, as consent may be needed for changes to the outside of the building.
Planning authorities in County Antrim include Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, Belfast City Council, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council and Mid and East Antrim Borough Council.
Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.
