Cassette and Georgian sectional garage doors in Fife
Our cassette sectional door service covers Fife: Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and St Andrews, 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 Fife?
Do cassette panels collect dirt?
The recesses can hold dust and leaves, so an occasional wash keeps them crisp.
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.
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.
- Woodgrain textureAdds a painted-timber feel.
- Heritage coloursMany RAL colours to order.
- Cassette layoutGrid set by the manufacturer for the width.
How much does a cassette sectional door cost in Fife?
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.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in Fife?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in Fife include Fife Council.
