Choosing a single sectional door for a home in Whitstable
What finishes suit a single door?
Every design in the range is available in single sizes, from fine ribs and flush panels to Georgian-style cassettes and woodgrain effects.
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.

Questions from Whitstable 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.
Which parts of Whitstable do you cover?
We cover Whitstable across postcode districts CT5, along with nearby Herne Bay, Canterbury and Faversham. Dates 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.
