Double sectional garage doors: what matters for Battersea garages
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.
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.
What can you choose for your Battersea garage?
- 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.
What will a double sectional door cost in Battersea?
Guide price: £3,295–£4,995 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
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.
Do you need permission in Battersea?
If your property in Battersea is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, the local London borough council is the authority to check with before ordering.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.

Questions from Battersea 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.
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.
Do you cover Battersea?
Yes. We cover Battersea, including postcode districts SW3, SW4, SW8, SW10, SW11, SW1W. 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 Battersea?
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 London borough council.
