Double sectional garage doors: what matters for Colchester garages
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.
Will a standard operator lift it?
Domestic operators come in ratings for different door areas. Wide doors need an operator rated for the size and weight, and on very wide or heavy doors a more powerful unit or a different drive arrangement is specified.

Guide price for a double sectional door in Colchester
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 Colchester?
If your property in Colchester is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, the local district or borough council is the authority to check with before ordering.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Colchester 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.
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 Colchester?
Yes. We cover Colchester, including postcode districts CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4. 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 Colchester?
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 the local district or borough council.
Do you also cover towns near Colchester?
Yes. Close to Colchester we also cover Clacton-on-Sea (13 mi), Witham (13 mi), Maldon (15 mi) and Braintree (15 mi).
