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.

What rules apply in Acton?
The planning authority for Acton is the local London borough council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Acton 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.
Which parts of Acton do you cover?
We cover Acton across postcode districts TW8, W3, W4, W5, W12, W13, along with nearby Wembley, Fulham and Southall. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Acton?
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 the local London borough council.
