Up-and-over to sectional door replacement: what matters for Potters Bar 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.
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.
Which options are available in Potters Bar?
- Fit behind the openingFor maximum clear width.
- Electric upgradeOperator and remotes.
- TrimsTo tidy reveals and the head.
- Removal and disposalOld door, frame and springs.

Questions from Potters Bar 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.
