Anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in County Durham
Our coloured sectional door service covers County Durham: Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Durham, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
Coloured sectional garage doors are sectional doors finished in a colour other than the standard white, from the popular anthracite grey (RAL 7016) to black, greens, blues and creams, so the door can match windows, front doors and cladding. Most ranges offer a short list of preferred colours and a wide RAL palette to order.

What should you know about coloured sectional doors in County Durham?
How do I match my windows?
Ask your window installer for the RAL or foil reference, or bring a sample to the survey. Colour on screen is never a safe guide.
Preferred colours or RAL to order?
Preferred colours are held by the manufacturer, so they cost less and arrive sooner. RAL colours to order widen the choice but can add cost and lead time.
Will a dark colour fade or move?
All exterior coatings weather. Dark colours absorb more heat, and some manufacturers limit dark colours on certain sizes or recommend specific panel types for sunny elevations. We check the rules for your door.
Which options can you choose?
- Anthracite RAL 7016The classic dark grey.
- Black and dark greysRAL 9005 and similar.
- Heritage coloursGreens, blues and creams.
- Two-sided colourOutside colour on both faces on some ranges.
How much does a coloured sectional door cost in County Durham?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,995 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
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 County Durham?
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 authorities in County Durham include Darlington Council, Durham County Council, Hartlepool Council and Stockton-on-Tees Council.

Questions about anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in County Durham
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.
How much extra is a coloured garage door?
Preferred colours such as anthracite grey often cost little or nothing extra; RAL colours to order usually add to the price. A coloured single door is typically around £2,095–£2,995 supplied and fitted.
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 I need planning permission in County Durham?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
