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 Shropshire?
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 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.
Can a commercial door be insulated?
Yes. Insulated panels are standard on most commercial sectional doors and help heated workshops keep costs down.
Which options can you choose?
- Pass doorPedestrian door within the panels.
- Shaft operatorFor heavier doors and frequent use.
- Vision panelsGlazed rows for light and visibility.
- Service planPlanned maintenance with records.
- High-cycle springsFor doors that open many times a day.
How much does a commercial sectional door cost in Shropshire?
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.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in Shropshire?
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 authorities in Shropshire include Shropshire Council and Telford & Wrekin Council.
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.

Do I need planning permission in Shropshire?

Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
