Questions from Stowmarket 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.
Do you take the old door away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old door can be included in your quote.
Which parts of Stowmarket do you cover?
We cover Stowmarket across postcode districts IP14, along with nearby Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Sudbury. 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.
