Double sectional garage doors in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
We supply and fit double sectional doors across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, including Aberdeen, Peterhead, Inverurie and Fraserburgh, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
A double sectional garage door is a single wide sectional door that spans a two-car opening, typically around 4.3 to 4.9 metres wide, in place of two separate doors. Because it lifts vertically and parks under the ceiling, a double sectional keeps the whole drive clear and lets two cars use the full width of the opening.

What should you know about double sectional doors in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
How long does fitting take?
A double sectional door is still usually a one-day job for a two-person team, including removal of the old door, unless the opening needs building work first.
What sizes are common in the UK?
Many older double garages have openings of about 14 feet by 7 feet (roughly 4267 by 2134 mm) or 16 feet by 7 feet (about 4877 by 2134 mm). New builds vary, which is why every door is made to the measured opening rather than to a stock size.
Does a wider door need different springs?
Yes. A double door is far heavier than a single, so it runs on a larger spring set, usually torsion springs on a longer shaft, and heavier-gauge tracks and cables. These are sized to the exact door weight by the manufacturer.
Which options can you choose?
- Any designRibbed, large rib, flush, cassette, woodgrain and glazed options.
- Window insertsRows of windows in one section for daylight.
- Heavier operatorOperator rated for the door area and weight.
- Matching side doorPedestrian door in the same finish.
- Wicket doorIntegrated pedestrian door on selected ranges.

What rules apply in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
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 Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire include Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council.

Questions about double sectional garage doors in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Is a double sectional door heavy to open by hand?
When it is correctly balanced, the springs carry most of the weight. Even so, most people choose electric operation on a double.
Do I need more headroom for a double door?
Headroom depends more on the track and spring system than the width. Where headroom is tight, a low-headroom version is available.
Can you replace two single doors with one double sectional?
Only if the central pier can be removed safely. That needs structural assessment and often a new lintel, which is arranged separately before the door is ordered.
Which towns in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire do you cover?
We cover Aberdeen, Peterhead, Inverurie and Fraserburgh and other towns across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Do I need planning permission in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
