Key questions about large sectional doors in Cardiff
Can large doors be insulated and glazed?
Yes. Most large doors use insulated panels, and window rows or vision panels can be added to bring light into a long garage.
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.

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 Cardiff?
Cardiff falls under Cardiff Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
Welsh planning rules usually allow a replacement garage door of similar appearance without an application, unless the home is listed, in a conservation area or subject to conditions.

Questions from Cardiff 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.
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.
Do you cover Cardiff?
Yes. We cover Cardiff, including postcode districts CF5, CF10, CF11, CF14, CF23, CF24. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Cardiff Council need to approve my new garage door?
