What should Chester homeowners know about coloured sectional doors?

Can the inside be a different colour?

The inside of most doors is a standard white or light grey finish. Some ranges offer the outside colour on both faces at extra cost.

Why is anthracite grey so popular?

Anthracite grey matches the dark grey windows and doors fitted to many UK homes in recent years. It looks modern, hides dirt well and suits brick, render and cladding.

  • Anthracite RAL 7016The classic dark grey.
  • Heritage coloursGreens, blues and creams.
  • Black and dark greysRAL 9005 and similar.
  • Two-sided colourOutside colour on both faces on some ranges.

What will a coloured sectional door cost in Chester?

Planning and regulations for Chester homes

Chester falls under Cheshire West and Chester Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Chester customers

What colour garage door adds most kerb appeal?

The one that matches your windows and front door. Anthracite grey and white are the most common choices.

Can I paint my sectional door later?

Repainting a factory-finished door can affect the warranty and is rarely as durable. It is better to order the colour you want.

Do you cover Chester?

Yes. We cover Chester, including postcode districts CH1, CH2. 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 Chester?

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, check with Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Do you also cover towns near Chester?

Yes. Close to Chester we also cover Ellesmere Port (6 mi), Runcorn (12 mi), Widnes (14 mi) and Winsford (15 mi).
