Our commercial sectional door service covers Nottinghamshire: Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop and Newark-on-Trent, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
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 Nottinghamshire?
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.
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 options can you choose?
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- Vision panelsGlazed rows for light and visibility.
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
How much does a commercial sectional door cost in Nottinghamshire?
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 Nottinghamshire?
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 Nottinghamshire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Nottingham City Council also cover parts of the area).
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.
