Up-and-over to sectional door replacement: what matters for South Ockendon garages
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.
Can I keep the car in the garage that day?
No. The garage needs to be clear just inside the opening while we work. Everything else can stay.
What can you choose for your South Ockendon garage?
- Electric upgradeOperator and remotes.
- Fit behind the openingFor maximum clear width.
- Removal and disposalOld door, frame and springs.
- TrimsTo tidy reveals and the head.

Questions from South Ockendon customers
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.
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.

Will Thurrock 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 Thurrock Council before ordering.
