Large and oversized sectional garage doors: what matters for Galashiels garages
Is a domestic operator enough?
Not always. Larger, heavier doors need an operator rated for the size, and very large doors may use a shaft-mounted operator instead of a ceiling rail.
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 rules apply in Galashiels?
The planning authority for Galashiels is Scottish Borders Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
In Scotland a door that does not materially change the look of the house is not usually development. A visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent.

Questions from Galashiels customers
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.
Can you fit a sectional door to a motorhome garage?
Yes, provided the building has the height and structure for the tracks and the door. We measure headroom, side room and depth at survey.
Which parts of Galashiels do you cover?
We cover Galashiels across postcode districts TD1, along with nearby Hawick, Kelso and Peebles. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Scottish Borders Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, ask Scottish Borders Council before ordering.
