What should Stanley homeowners know about replacement sectional doors?
Will the opening need work?
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.

Questions from Stanley customers
Can the new door be wider than the old one?
Fitting behind the opening often gives more clear width than the old frame did, but the brick opening itself sets the limit.
How much does it cost to replace an up-and-over door with a sectional?
A typical single replacement, with the old door removed and a new insulated electric sectional fitted, is around £2,095–£2,795.
Do you cover Stanley?
Yes. We cover Stanley, including postcode districts DH9. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Durham County 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 Durham County Council before ordering.
