What should Lerwick homeowners know about commercial sectional doors?
Can a commercial door be insulated?
Yes. Insulated panels are standard on most commercial sectional doors and help heated workshops keep costs down.
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.
What can you choose for your Lerwick garage?
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
Guide price for a commercial sectional door in Lerwick
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.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
What rules apply in Lerwick?
If your property in Lerwick is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Shetland Islands Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
For most Scottish homes a replacement garage door needs no planning application. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the cases to check with the council first.
Electrical work for an operator in Scotland should meet BS 7671 and be certified by a competent electrician; a warrant is not normally needed.
At work, powered doors must also be maintained under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Questions from Lerwick 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.
How much is a commercial sectional door?
Commercial doors are priced on survey. As a guide, a workshop-sized insulated door with an operator starts from £3,500 plus VAT.
Do you cover Lerwick?
We cover Lerwick by arrangement. Because of the distance, we confirm availability and any travel cost before you book, and the cost is shown separately on your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Lerwick?
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. If in doubt, check with Shetland Islands Council.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover other places across the area by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
