Cassette and Georgian sectional garage doors in Cornwall
Our cassette sectional door service covers Cornwall: Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell and Truro, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A cassette sectional garage door has rows of raised or recessed rectangular panels pressed into each section, giving the traditional Georgian look of a panelled door with the convenience of a modern sectional. It suits period houses, traditional brick homes and estates built in a classic style.

What should you know about cassette sectional doors in Cornwall?
Why pick a cassette design?
Cassettes break the door into a grid, which echoes panelled front doors and sash windows. On a traditional house, a cassette door looks at home in a way a plain ribbed door sometimes does not.
Which colours suit a cassette door?
White is the classic choice, with cream, heritage greens, blues and woodgrain effects popular on period homes.
Can a cassette door be insulated and electric?
Yes. Cassette panels are usually double-skin and insulated, and the door can be motorised like any other sectional door.
Which options can you choose?
- Window cassettesGlazed inserts in the top row on some ranges.
- Cassette layoutGrid set by the manufacturer for the width.
- Woodgrain textureAdds a painted-timber feel.
- Heritage coloursMany RAL colours to order.
How much does a cassette sectional door cost in Cornwall?
Guide price: £2,195–£2,895 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in Cornwall?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Cornwall include Cornwall Council.
