Thanks all. Looks like a new sectional door will fit after all so should gain around a foot extra. Not cheap but will also help further down the line since cars don’t seem to be getting shorter.

Thanks for your replies ive got another few garage door companies coming in to have a look

Hi unfortunately the lintel above the door is only 2125 high.

Apologies for the pics it’s all I’ve got as I’m away at the minute

Picture of gable wall structure

Hi the wall is 5.2m long the garage is built onto the side of the house and the dwarf wall is along only around. This wall (the back) and along the side wall(gable end) it is a single story structure. The garden is flat and extends around the garage with only a path behind the wall at ground level. It isn’t acting as a retaining wall cheers

I am looking at the possibility to remove the area in red to gain an extra 100mm in depth to fit a bigger car and due to a low lintel moving the garage door isn’t an option . Obviously do not want to weaken the wall, Would there be a preferred method to ensure the walls strength ie a steel beam or bracing. There is nothing behind the wall only a path. thanks in advance for any advice
