Anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in the Highlands and Islands
Our coloured sectional door service covers the Highlands and Islands: Inverness, Stornoway, Fort William and Nairn, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey. Many places here are covered by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on your quote.
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 the Highlands and Islands?
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.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- 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.
How much does a coloured sectional door cost in the Highlands and Islands?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,995 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in the Highlands and Islands?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in the Highlands and Islands include Argyll and Bute Council, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Highland Council, Orkney Islands Council and Shetland Islands Council.

Questions about anthracite and RAL coloured sectional garage doors in the Highlands and Islands
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.
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.
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 the Highlands and Islands do you cover?
We cover Inverness, Stornoway, Fort William, Nairn, Dunoon, Oban, Thurso and Rothesay and other towns across the Highlands and Islands. Some places are covered by arrangement, with travel costs shown on the quote.
Do I need planning permission in the Highlands and Islands?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
