Matching garage side doors in Kent
We supply and fit matching side doors across Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
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 Kent?
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.
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?
- LockingRobust or multi-point locks.
- Matched panel designRibs, flush or cassette to match.
- Glazed top panelOptional on some ranges.
- Matched colourSame colour or woodgrain.
How much does a matching side door cost in Kent?
Guide price: £995–£1,895 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 Kent?
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 Kent is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Medway Council also cover parts of the area).

Do I need planning permission in Kent?

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.
