Cassette and Georgian sectional garage doors: what matters for Derry garages
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.
How many cassettes will I get?
The number of cassettes per row depends on the door width and the range. The manufacturer sets the layout so cassettes stay well proportioned.
Options and upgrades for Derry homes
- Window cassettesGlazed inserts in the top row on some ranges.
- Heritage coloursMany RAL colours to order.
- Woodgrain textureAdds a painted-timber feel.
- Cassette layoutGrid set by the manufacturer for the width.
How much does a cassette sectional door cost in Derry?
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.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
Do you need permission in Derry?
Planning questions for homes in Derry go to Derry City and Strabane District Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.
Northern Ireland planning rules usually allow a replacement garage door in the same opening. Check with the council planning office first if the property is listed or in a conservation area.
Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.

Questions from Derry customers

It can be a sympathetic choice, but consent may still be needed. Check with the local planning authority before ordering.

Yes. We cover Derry, including postcode districts BT48. 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 Derry?
