We supply and fit cassette sectional doors across Leicestershire, including Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
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 Leicestershire?
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?
- Woodgrain textureAdds a painted-timber feel.
- Cassette layoutGrid set by the manufacturer for the width.
- Heritage coloursMany RAL colours to order.
- Window cassettesGlazed inserts in the top row on some ranges.
How much does a cassette sectional door cost in Leicestershire?
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 Leicestershire?
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 in Leicestershire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Leicester City Council also cover parts of the area).
