Key questions about double sectional doors in Livingston
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.
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 will a double sectional door cost in Livingston?
Guide price: £3,295–£4,995 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
Do you need permission in Livingston?
The planning authority for Livingston is West Lothian Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
For most Scottish homes a replacement garage door needs no planning application. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the cases to check with the council first.

Questions from Livingston customers
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.
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.
Which parts of Livingston do you cover?
We cover Livingston across postcode districts EH52, EH53, EH54, along with nearby Bathgate and Edinburgh. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will West Lothian Council need to approve my new garage door?
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. If in doubt, ask West Lothian Council before ordering.
