Questions from Rayleigh 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.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Rayleigh?

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, check with the local district or borough council.
