What should you know about matching side doors in the Highlands and Islands?
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.
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.
Will it fit my existing opening?
Side doors are made to measure or chosen from size ranges. Existing openings vary a lot, so they are measured at survey.
Which options can you choose?
- Glazed top panelOptional on some ranges.
- Matched panel designRibs, flush or cassette to match.
- LockingRobust or multi-point locks.
- Matched colourSame colour or woodgrain.
How much does a matching side door cost in the Highlands and Islands?

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 the Highlands and Islands?
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 the Highlands and Islands include Argyll and Bute Council, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Highland Council, Orkney Islands Council and Shetland Islands Council.

Can you match a side door to my existing sectional door?
Often, if the range and colour are still made. Bring the details or a photo and we check.
