Choosing a replacement sectional door for a home in Godalming
Will the opening need work?
Most openings take a sectional door with little preparation. Sometimes old timber subframes, damaged brick returns or an uneven floor need attention first. The survey picks this up so the price does not change on the day.
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.

Questions from Godalming customers
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.
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.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Godalming?
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, check with the local district or borough council.
