Choosing a double sectional door for a home in Leicester
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.
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 Leicester garage?
- Window insertsRows of windows in one section for daylight.
- Any designRibbed, large rib, flush, cassette, woodgrain and glazed options.

What rules apply in Leicester?
Leicester falls under Leicester City Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Leicester customers
Is a double sectional door heavy to open by hand?
When it is correctly balanced, the springs carry most of the weight. Even so, most people choose electric operation on a double.
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 parts of Leicester do you cover?
We cover Leicester across postcode districts LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5, along with nearby Oadby, Wigston and Mountsorrel. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Leicester?
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 Leicester City Council.
