Single sectional garage doors in Hampshire
Looking for a single sectional door in Hampshire? We cover Southampton, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Gosport and the rest of the area, measuring, supplying and fitting each door.
A single sectional garage door covers a one-car opening, usually around 2.1 to 2.6 metres wide, with four or so horizontal panels that lift up and back along tracks to sit under the ceiling. It is the most common replacement for an old up-and-over door on UK homes, and it gives back the space a canopy door swings into.

What should you know about single sectional doors in Hampshire?
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 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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Manual or electricManual lock and handle, or operator with remotes.
- Window insertsDaylight panels in one section.
- Insulated panelsDouble-skin panels with foam core.
- ColoursStandard colours or RAL colours on most ranges.
How much does a single sectional door cost in Hampshire?
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 Hampshire?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning in Hampshire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Portsmouth City Council and Southampton City Council also cover parts of the area).
