What should Tonbridge homeowners know about commercial sectional doors?

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 Tonbridge garage?
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
What will a commercial sectional door cost in Tonbridge?
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.
Do you need permission in Tonbridge?
If your property in Tonbridge is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, the local district or borough council is the authority to check with before ordering.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.
Operators normally run from a switched fused spur; adding one to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, but a new circuit falls under Part P.
At work, powered doors must also be maintained under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
