Everything you need to know about the installation of Up and Over Garage Doors

Is it easy to fit an up and over garage door?

While up and over doors are considered one of the easier garage door types to install, they can still present challenges for DIYers, especially with larger or more complex models. Professional installation is recommended for smooth operation and security.

Do I need planning permission to fit a garage door?

Usually, you don’t need planning permission to replace or install a new garage door. This is considered a permitted development, as it doesn’t change the structure or footprint of the building. However, there are exceptions, particularly if you live in a listed building, conservation area, or if the new door significantly changes the external appearance of your property.
