Up-and-over to sectional replacement means taking out an old canopy or retractable up-and-over garage door and fitting a sectional door in its place, usually behind the opening. It is the most common garage door upgrade in the UK because it gives a warmer, quieter door that lifts straight up and frees the drive.

What should you know about replacement sectional doors in Mid Glamorgan?
What happens to the old door?
We remove it, including its springs and frame, and take it away for disposal or recycling where quoted.
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.
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.
