Choosing a single sectional door for a home in Chester-le-Street
How long does the job take?
Swapping a single door is normally a one-day job: the old door comes out, the opening is prepared, and the new door is fitted, balanced, tested and handed over.
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 Chester-le-Street 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.
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.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Chester-le-Street?
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 Durham County Council.
