What should Kelso homeowners know about double sectional doors?
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.
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.

What rules apply in Kelso?
Planning questions for homes in Kelso go to Scottish Borders Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.
In Scotland a door that does not materially change the look of the house is not usually development. A visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent.

Questions from Kelso 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.
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.
Which parts of Kelso do you cover?
We cover Kelso across postcode districts TD5, along with nearby Galashiels. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Kelso?
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 Scottish Borders Council.
