Do you need permission in Colchester?

Questions from Colchester customers
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.
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 Colchester?
Yes. We cover Colchester, including postcode districts CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough 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 the local district or borough council before ordering.
Do you also cover towns near Colchester?
Yes. Close to Colchester we also cover Clacton-on-Sea (13 mi), Witham (13 mi), Maldon (15 mi) and Braintree (15 mi).
