Choosing a single sectional door for a home in Kettering
How long does the job take?
Swapping a single door is normally a one-day job: the old door comes out, the opening is prepared, and the new door is fitted, balanced, tested and handed over.
Can you widen the drive-through width?
Many single sectional doors are fitted behind the opening, which can give a slightly wider clear opening than the old frame allowed. The survey shows what clear width you will end up with.

Questions from Kettering customers
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 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 Kettering?
Yes. We cover Kettering, including postcode districts NN14, NN15, NN16. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will North Northamptonshire 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 North Northamptonshire Council before ordering.
Do you also cover towns near Kettering?
Yes. Close to Kettering we also cover Wellingborough (7 mi), Corby (7 mi), Rushden (9 mi) and Northampton (12 mi).
