Anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors – example of the door type

What should Seaham homeowners know about coloured sectional doors?

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.

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.

Which options are available in Seaham?

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

What rules apply in Seaham?

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 Seaham customers

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 you cover Seaham?

Yes. We cover Seaham, including postcode districts SR7. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.

Will Durham County 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 Durham County Council before ordering.

Do you also cover towns near Seaham?

Yes. Close to Seaham we also cover Peterlee (5 mi), Chester-le-Street (9 mi), Durham (10 mi) and Hartlepool (12 mi).
