Large and oversized sectional garage doors in Somerset
We supply and fit large sectional doors across Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and Yeovil, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
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 Somerset?
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.
Do tall doors need more headroom?
A tall door needs a correspondingly long horizontal track and a suitable ceiling or roof structure to fix it to. Barns and garages with pitched roofs often have room for a high-lift or vertical-lift track that keeps the door higher up the roof slope.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Shaft or rail operatorSpecified to the door size.
- Vision rowsWindows across one section.
- High-lift tracksUse roof height so the door parks higher.
- Heavier springsSpring sets sized to the larger door weight.
How much does a large sectional door cost in Somerset?
Guide price: from £4,495 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in Somerset?
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 authorities in Somerset include Bath and North East Somerset Council, North Somerset Council and Somerset Council.

Questions about large and oversized sectional garage doors in Somerset
How much is a large or oversized sectional door?
Large doors are priced on survey because size and structure vary so much. As a guide they start from £4,495 supplied and fitted.
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 a sectional door go in an oak barn?
Usually. The fixing method is matched to the frame, and allowance is made for timber movement.
Which towns in Somerset do you cover?
We cover Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater, Portishead, Frome and Burnham-on-Sea and other towns across Somerset.
Do I need planning permission in Somerset?
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.
