A commercial sectional door is a heavier-duty sectional door for workshops, small industrial units, farm buildings and trade premises, built with thicker panels, stronger tracks and springs rated for more cycles, and usually motorised with a three-phase or heavy-duty single-phase operator. Vision panels and pass doors are common options.

What should you know about commercial sectional doors in Greater London?
Can a commercial door be insulated?
Yes. Insulated panels are standard on most commercial sectional doors and help heated workshops keep costs down.
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.
Which operator suits a commercial door?
Shaft-mounted operators are common on commercial sectional doors because they handle heavier doors and higher use. Three-phase power is typical, though single-phase versions exist.
Which options can you choose?
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- Vision panelsGlazed rows for light and visibility.
How much does a commercial sectional door cost in Greater London?
Guide price: from £3,500 + VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
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 Greater London?
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 Greater London is handled by the London borough councils (Westminster City Council in central London), not the Greater London Authority.
Most garage door operators run from a switched fused spur or socket. Adding a fused spur or socket to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, but a brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P and must be done by a registered electrician or signed off by building control.
At work, powered doors must also be maintained under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
