Single sectional garage doors: what matters for Rushden garages
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.

Questions from Rushden 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.
Can I have a manual door and add a motor later?
Usually, yes, as long as the door is suitable for powered operation and is set up and checked to the powered-door safety standard when the motor goes on.
Do you cover Rushden?
Yes. We cover Rushden, including postcode districts NN10. 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.
