What should St Austell homeowners know about replacement sectional doors?

Most openings take a sectional door with little preparation. Sometimes old timber subframes, damaged brick returns or an uneven floor need attention first. The survey picks this up so the price does not change on the day.
What happens to the old door?
We remove it, including its springs and frame, and take it away for disposal or recycling where quoted.
