Up-and-over to sectional door replacement: what matters for Nelson garages
What happens to the old door?
We remove it, including its springs and frame, and take it away for disposal or recycling where quoted.
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.

Do you need permission in Nelson?
Nelson falls under the local district or borough council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

Questions from Nelson 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.
Which parts of Nelson do you cover?
We cover Nelson across postcode districts BB8, BB9, BB10, along with nearby Colne, Burnley and Accrington. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough 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 the local district or borough council before ordering.
