Double sectional garage doors in Perth and Kinross
Our double sectional door service covers Perth and Kinross: Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff and Auchterarder, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A double sectional garage door is a single wide sectional door that spans a two-car opening, typically around 4.3 to 4.9 metres wide, in place of two separate doors. Because it lifts vertically and parks under the ceiling, a double sectional keeps the whole drive clear and lets two cars use the full width of the opening.

What should you know about double sectional doors in Perth and Kinross?
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.
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 sizes are common in the UK?
Many older double garages have openings of about 14 feet by 7 feet (roughly 4267 by 2134 mm) or 16 feet by 7 feet (about 4877 by 2134 mm). New builds vary, which is why every door is made to the measured opening rather than to a stock size.

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 Perth and Kinross?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in Perth and Kinross include Perth and Kinross Council.

Questions about double sectional garage doors in Perth and Kinross
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.
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.
Which towns in Perth and Kinross do you cover?
We cover Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff and Auchterarder and other towns across Perth and Kinross.
Do I need planning permission in Perth and Kinross?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
