What should Formby homeowners know about coloured sectional doors?
How do I match my windows?

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.
Do you cover Formby?
Yes. We cover Formby, including postcode districts L37, L38. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Sefton Council need to approve my new garage door?
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, ask Sefton Council before ordering.
