Choosing an insulated sectional door for a home in Croydon
Is it worth it on a detached garage?
On a detached garage used only for a car, a standard double-skin door is usually enough. If you keep tools, bikes, a freezer or stock in there, or you use it as a workspace, the warmer, drier conditions are worth the extra cost.
Why choose a foam-filled panel over single-skin steel?
A single-skin door is a sheet of steel and little else, so the garage runs at outdoor temperature. A double-skin panel with a polyurethane core slows heat loss, stops the panel drumming in wind and gives a stiffer, quieter door. If the garage is a workshop, gym, utility or store for anything that dislikes damp and cold, insulation is the part of the specification that earns its keep.
What can you choose for your Croydon garage?
- Seals all roundBottom, side and head seals, plus gaskets between sections.
- Any finishRibbed, flush, cassette, woodgrain and coloured finishes are all available with insulated panels.
- Electric or manualMost insulated doors are motorised; manual operation is possible on lighter doors.
- Window insertsAdd glazed inserts for daylight; they slightly reduce thermal performance.

Do you need permission in Croydon?
If your property in Croydon is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, the local London borough council is the authority to check with before ordering.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.

Questions from Croydon customers
Can an insulated door be fitted to an older garage?
Usually, yes. The opening needs to be sound and square enough to fix to, with enough headroom above the opening and room either side for the tracks. The survey checks all three.
Do insulated doors need more headroom?
Thicker panels can need slightly more headroom. Where space is tight, a low-headroom track or a side-sectional door may suit better.
Which parts of Croydon do you cover?
We cover Croydon across postcode districts CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8, CR9, SE19, SE25, along with nearby Mitcham, Purley and Beckenham. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will the local London borough council need to approve my new garage door?
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, ask the local London borough council before ordering.
