What should Falmouth homeowners know about commercial sectional doors?
What size of premises do you cover?
This page covers workshops, small units, garages for vans and plant, and farm buildings. For large loading bays with dock levellers and shelters, a specialist industrial installer is the right route.
How is it different from a domestic door?
Commercial doors open more often and are often bigger, so they use springs rated for higher cycle counts, heavier hardware and operators built for frequent use. The safety requirements for powered doors at work also apply.
Which options are available in Falmouth?
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.

Guide price for a commercial sectional door in Falmouth
Guide price: from £3,500 + VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
Do you need permission in Falmouth?
Falmouth falls under Cornwall Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.
If the garage already has a socket near the operator position, no electrical notification is needed. A brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P in England.
At work, powered doors must also be maintained under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Questions from Falmouth customers
Do you fit loading bay equipment?
No. We fit sectional doors to workshops and small units. Dock levellers, shelters and full loading bays need a specialist industrial door company.
Do commercial doors need servicing?
Yes. Powered doors at work should be maintained and checked regularly, with records kept.
Which parts of Falmouth do you cover?
We cover Falmouth across postcode districts TR10, TR11, along with nearby Truro, Redruth and Camborne. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Cornwall 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 Cornwall Council before ordering.
