Double sectional garage doors – example of the door type

What should Penzance homeowners know about double sectional doors?

One wide door or two single doors?

If your garage has a central pier, two single doors may still make sense. If the opening is clear from side to side, one wide sectional door gives the most usable width and a cleaner look. On some properties removing a central pier is possible, but that is structural work needing proper design, not a decision to make on the doorstep.

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.

How much does a double sectional door cost in Penzance?

Guide price: £3,295–£4,995 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.

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 Penzance?

The planning authority for Penzance is Cornwall Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.

English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Penzance customers

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.

Can the door be made to a non-standard width?

Yes. Sectional doors are made to measure, so non-standard widths and heights are normal.

Do you cover Penzance?

Yes. We cover Penzance, including postcode districts TR18, TR20. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Penzance?

Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, check with Cornwall Council.

Do you also cover towns near Penzance?

Yes. Close to Penzance we also cover Camborne (12 mi).
