What should Kettering 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.
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.

A typical single replacement, with the old door removed and a new insulated electric sectional fitted, is around £2,095–£2,795.
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.
