Questions from Lowestoft 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.

Yes. We cover Lowestoft, including postcode districts NR32, NR33. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Lowestoft?
Usually not.

If in doubt, check with the local district or borough council.
