What should Heswall homeowners know about replacement sectional doors?
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.

Do you need permission in Heswall?
The planning authority for Heswall is Wirral Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.

Will Wirral Council need to approve my new garage door?

If in doubt, ask Wirral Council before ordering.
