Up-and-over to sectional door replacement: what matters for Chorley garages
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.
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 can you choose for your Chorley garage?
- Removal and disposalOld door, frame and springs.
- TrimsTo tidy reveals and the head.
- Electric upgradeOperator and remotes.
- Fit behind the openingFor maximum clear width.

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.
