Single sectional garage doors: what matters for Central London garages
Manual or electric?
A well-balanced single sectional door is light enough to lift by hand, so manual operation is a valid choice and saves money. Most people still choose electric for convenience and security.
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.

What will a single sectional door cost in Central London?
Guide price: £1,695–£3,195 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
What rules apply in Central London?
Planning questions for homes in Central London go to Westminster City Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Central London 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.
How much does a single sectional garage door cost?
A single sectional door, supplied and fitted, is roughly £1,695–£3,195. Manual budget doors sit at the lower end; insulated electric doors in premium finishes at the top.

Will Westminster 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 Westminster City Council before ordering.
