Choosing a replacement sectional door for a home in Pitsea
Does the sectional door go behind or in the opening?
Fitting behind the opening usually gives the best clear width and seals well against the inside face of the wall. In some garages fitting within the opening is necessary; the survey decides.
Why do people replace up-and-over doors?
Up-and-over doors swing out, so cars have to stop short of them; their springs and cables wear and become unsafe; they are rarely insulated; and many are dented or rusting. A sectional door fixes all four.

Questions from Pitsea 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.

A typical single replacement, with the old door removed and a new insulated electric sectional fitted, is around £2,095–£2,795.

Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not.

If in doubt, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
