Matching garage side doors: what matters for Canterbury garages
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.
Options and upgrades for Canterbury homes
- Matched colourSame colour or woodgrain.
- LockingRobust or multi-point locks.
- Matched panel designRibs, flush or cassette to match.
- Glazed top panelOptional on some ranges.
How much does a matching side door cost in Canterbury?
Guide price: £995–£1,895 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
Planning and regulations for Canterbury homes
Planning questions for homes in Canterbury go to the local district or borough council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Canterbury customers
Do you fit side doors on their own?
Yes, if the opening is sound. Most customers order them with a new garage door.
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.
Which parts of Canterbury do you cover?
We cover Canterbury across postcode districts CT1, CT2, CT5, CT6, along with nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or 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 district or borough council before ordering.
