Double sectional garage doors in Warwickshire
Our double sectional door service covers Warwickshire: Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa and Warwick, 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 Warwickshire?
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.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Wicket doorIntegrated pedestrian door on selected ranges.
- Heavier operatorOperator rated for the door area and weight.
- Matching side doorPedestrian door in the same finish.
- Window insertsRows of windows in one section for daylight.
- Any designRibbed, large rib, flush, cassette, woodgrain and glazed options.
How much does a double sectional door cost in Warwickshire?

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 Warwickshire?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning in Warwickshire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council.

Questions about double sectional garage doors in Warwickshire
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.
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.
Which towns in Warwickshire do you cover?
We cover Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Bedworth, Stratford-upon-Avon and Kenilworth and other towns across Warwickshire.
Do I need planning permission in Warwickshire?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
