What should Thurso 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.
What are the duties at work?
Powered doors in workplaces must be safe and maintained. In Great Britain that falls under workplace and work equipment law, and in Northern Ireland under its equivalent regulations. Regular servicing with records is the practical way to show the door is kept safe.

What will a commercial sectional door cost in Thurso?
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.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
Planning and regulations for Thurso homes
Thurso falls under Highland Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
In Scotland a door that does not materially change the look of the house is not usually development. A visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent.
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 Thurso customers
Do commercial doors need servicing?
Yes. Powered doors at work should be maintained and checked regularly, with records kept.
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 Thurso?
We cover Thurso 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.
Will Highland Council need to approve my new garage door?
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, ask Highland Council before ordering.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover Wick and Kirkwall by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
