Double sectional garage doors in Dumfries and Galloway
We supply and fit double sectional doors across Dumfries and Galloway, including Dumfries, Stranraer, Annan and Dalbeattie, 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 Dumfries and Galloway?
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.
Can a double door have a pedestrian door in it?
Some ranges offer an integrated wicket door within a sectional door. It is useful on wide doors where there is no separate side door, though it adds cost and has threshold and width limits.
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.
- Matching side doorPedestrian door in the same finish.
- Heavier operatorOperator rated for the door area and weight.
- Wicket doorIntegrated pedestrian door on selected ranges.
- Window insertsRows of windows in one section for daylight.
How much does a double sectional door cost in Dumfries and Galloway?
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.
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 Dumfries and Galloway?
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 Dumfries and Galloway include Dumfries and Galloway Council.

Questions about double sectional garage doors in Dumfries and Galloway
How much is a double sectional garage door?
A double insulated sectional door, supplied and fitted with an electric operator, is typically around £3,295–£4,995, depending on width, finish and glazing.
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.
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 Dumfries and Galloway do you cover?
We cover Dumfries, Stranraer, Annan and Dalbeattie and other towns across Dumfries and Galloway.
Do I need planning permission in Dumfries and Galloway?
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.
