Matching garage side doors in Leicestershire
Our matching side door service covers Leicestershire: Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville, 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 Leicestershire?
How secure is it?
Most matching side doors are steel with multi-point or robust locking. The specification is shown on your quote.
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.
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 Leicestershire?
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 Leicestershire?
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 Leicestershire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Leicester City Council also cover parts of the area).

How much is a matching garage side door?
A matching side door supplied and fitted is typically around £995–£1,895, depending on size and finish.
Do you fit side doors on their own?

Which towns in Leicestershire do you cover?
We cover Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Wigston, Melton Mowbray, Market Harborough and Oadby and other towns across Leicestershire.
Do I need planning permission in Leicestershire?
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. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
