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.

Questions from Portslade 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 you cover Portslade?
Yes. We cover Portslade, including postcode districts BN3, BN41. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Brighton & Hove City 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 Brighton & Hove City Council before ordering.
