Large and oversized sectional garage doors in Gloucestershire
Our large sectional door service covers Gloucestershire: Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
Large and oversized sectional garage doors are made-to-measure doors for openings taller or wider than a standard domestic garage, such as motorhome and caravan garages, oak-framed barns, coach houses and triple-width openings. They use heavier panels, springs and track sets, but work in the same way: the door rises vertically and parks under the roof.

What should you know about large sectional doors in Gloucestershire?
When is a door oversized?
Anything taller than about 2.3 metres or wider than a typical double, roughly 5 metres, usually moves into larger spring and track specifications. Motorhome garages often need heights of 3 metres or more.
How are lead times affected?
Non-standard sizes are made to order, so lead times can run longer than for common domestic sizes. The quote shows the expected lead time.
What about oak-framed and timber buildings?
Doors can be fixed to timber frames, but the fixings and any packers have to suit the frame, and green oak moves as it dries. The survey checks the frame and the fixing positions.
Which options can you choose?
- Shaft or rail operatorSpecified to the door size.
- High-lift tracksUse roof height so the door parks higher.
- Vision rowsWindows across one section.
- Heavier springsSpring sets sized to the larger door weight.
How much does a large sectional door cost in Gloucestershire?
Guide price: from £4,495 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
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.
What rules apply in Gloucestershire?
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 Gloucestershire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (South Gloucestershire Council also cover parts of the area).

Will a large door need a special motor?
It needs an operator rated for its size and weight, which may be a heavier rail operator or a shaft-mounted unit.
Which towns in Gloucestershire do you cover?
We cover Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Kingswood, Yate, Tewkesbury and Cirencester and other towns across Gloucestershire.
Do I need planning permission in Gloucestershire?
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.
