Questions from Portslade customers
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.

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

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Portslade?
Usually not.
