Glazed and full-vision sectional garage doors in Greater London
Our glazed sectional door service covers Greater London: Central London, Islington, Bexley and Barking, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A glazed sectional garage door brings daylight into the garage, either through window inserts in one section of a steel door or as a full-vision door built from an aluminium frame filled with glazed panels. Full-vision doors suit contemporary homes, garden rooms and garages used as workshops or showrooms.

What should you know about glazed sectional doors in Greater London?
Are glazed doors secure?
Glazed panels are generally polycarbonate or safety glazing, depending on the range. A glazed door is still locked by the operator or a lock, but it naturally shows more than a solid door, which is one reason obscured glazing is popular.
Are full-vision doors heavier?
Aluminium and glazing can weigh more than steel panels of the same size, so springs and operators are sized to suit.
Do windows reduce insulation?
Yes, slightly. Glazed panels lose more heat than insulated steel panels, and full-vision doors lose more again unless thermally broken frames and insulated glazing are specified.
Which options can you choose?
- Full-vision aluminiumGlazed throughout in an aluminium frame.
- Frame coloursBlack, anthracite, silver and RAL colours.
- Window insert rowsRectangular or decorative inserts in one section.
- Obscured infillsFrosted or tinted for privacy.
How much does a glazed sectional door cost in Greater London?
Guide price: £5,995–£7,995 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
What rules apply in Greater London?
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 Greater London is handled by the London borough councils (Westminster City Council in central London), not the Greater London Authority.

Questions about glazed and full-vision sectional garage doors in Greater London
Are full-vision doors good for garden rooms?
They bring in plenty of light. For a room you will heat, ask for thermally improved frames and insulated glazing.
How much is a glazed sectional garage door?
Adding window inserts adds a modest amount; full-vision aluminium doors are a premium product. As a guide, full-vision doors are around £5,995–£7,995 supplied and fitted.
Can people see into a glazed garage door?
With clear glazing, yes. Most homeowners choose obscured or frosted infills.

Do I need planning permission in Greater London?
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.
