Commercial sectional doors for workshops and units in the Scottish Borders
We supply and fit commercial sectional doors across the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
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 the Scottish Borders?
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.
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?
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- Vision panelsGlazed rows for light and visibility.
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
How much does a commercial sectional door cost in the Scottish Borders?
Guide price: from £3,500 + VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
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 the Scottish Borders?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in the Scottish Borders include Scottish Borders Council.
Scotland has no Part P, but electrical work must meet the building standards and BS 7671, and should be certified by a competent electrician. A socket or spur for an operator does not normally need a warrant.
At work, powered doors must also be maintained under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
