Up-and-over to sectional door replacement: what matters for Finchley garages
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.
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 Finchley 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.
Is an up-and-over door dangerous when its springs go?
A failing up-and-over door can drop suddenly. If yours is slamming shut or feels heavy, stop using it and get it checked.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Finchley?
