Key questions about replacement sectional doors in Blackpool
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.
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.

Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
Do you need permission in Blackpool?
The planning authority for Blackpool is Blackpool Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Blackpool 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 you cover Blackpool?
Yes. We cover Blackpool, including postcode districts FY1, FY2, FY3, FY4. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Blackpool 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 Blackpool Council before ordering.
