Single sectional garage doors in Wiltshire
Our single sectional door service covers Wiltshire: Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
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 Wiltshire?
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.
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.
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.

How much does a single sectional door cost in Wiltshire?
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.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in Wiltshire?
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 authorities in Wiltshire include Swindon Council and Wiltshire Council.

Questions about single sectional garage doors in Wiltshire
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.
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.
Which towns in Wiltshire do you cover?
We cover Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham, Melksham, Warminster and Calne and other towns across Wiltshire.
Do I need planning permission in Wiltshire?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
