What should Welwyn Garden City homeowners know about replacement sectional doors?
What happens to the old door?

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.

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