Key questions about double sectional doors in Stornoway
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.
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.
What can you choose for your Stornoway garage?

- Any designRibbed, large rib, flush, cassette, woodgrain and glazed options.
- Window insertsRows of windows in one section for daylight.

At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in Stornoway?
The planning authority for Stornoway is Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.

Do you cover Stornoway?
We cover Stornoway by arrangement. Because of the distance, we confirm availability and any travel cost before you book, and the cost is shown separately on your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Stornoway?
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, check with Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover other places across the area by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
