Questions from Colchester customers
Is a cassette door suitable for a listed building or conservation area?
It can be a sympathetic choice, but consent may still be needed. Check with the local planning authority before ordering.
Can the top row be glazed?
Some ranges offer glazed cassettes in the top row for daylight.
Do you cover Colchester?
Yes. We cover Colchester, including postcode districts CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?
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, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
