Matching garage side doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Our matching side door service covers Edinburgh and the Lothians: Edinburgh, Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A matching garage side door is a pedestrian door made in the same panel design and colour as your sectional garage door, fitted to a separate opening in the side or back of the garage. It gives everyday access to the garage and the garden with a finish that matches the main door.

What should you know about matching side doors in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Can it be fitted at the same time?
Yes. Ordering the side door with the garage door keeps the finishes matched and means one visit for fitting.
Inward or outward opening?
Side doors can usually be hung to open in or out, left or right hand, to suit paths and the space inside.
Why match the side door?
An old timber side door next to a new sectional door looks tired. A matched side door in the same rib pattern, woodgrain or colour pulls the whole garage together.
Which options can you choose?
- Glazed top panelOptional on some ranges.
- Matched colourSame colour or woodgrain.
- LockingRobust or multi-point locks.
- Matched panel designRibs, flush or cassette to match.
How much does a matching side door cost in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Guide price: £995–£1,895 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
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 Edinburgh and the Lothians?
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 Edinburgh and the Lothians include City of Edinburgh Council, East Lothian Council, Midlothian Council and West Lothian Council.
