Anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in Derbyshire
Our coloured sectional door service covers Derbyshire: Derby, Chesterfield, Long Eaton and Ilkeston, 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 Derbyshire?
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.
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.

- Two-sided colourOutside colour on both faces on some ranges.
- Heritage coloursGreens, blues and creams.
- Anthracite RAL 7016The classic dark grey.
- Black and dark greysRAL 9005 and similar.
How much does a coloured sectional door cost in Derbyshire?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,995 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in Derbyshire?
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 Derbyshire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Derby City Council also cover parts of the area).

Questions about anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in Derbyshire
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.
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.
Which towns in Derbyshire do you cover?
We cover Derby, Chesterfield, Long Eaton, Ilkeston, Swadlincote, Staveley, Belper and Heanor and other towns across Derbyshire.
Do I need planning permission in Derbyshire?
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.
