Anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in Essex
Looking for a coloured sectional door in Essex? We cover Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford and the rest of the area, measuring, supplying and fitting each door.
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 Essex?
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.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Anthracite RAL 7016The classic dark grey.
- Black and dark greysRAL 9005 and similar.
- Two-sided colourOutside colour on both faces on some ranges.
- Heritage coloursGreens, blues and creams.
How much does a coloured sectional door cost in Essex?

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 Essex?
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 Essex is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Southend-on-Sea City Council and Thurrock Council also cover parts of the area).

Questions about anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in Essex
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.
Which towns in Essex do you cover?
We cover Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester, Chelmsford, Harlow, Grays, Braintree and Brentwood and other towns across Essex.
Do I need planning permission in Essex?
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.
