Ribbed sectional garage doors – example of the door type

What should Poole homeowners know about ribbed sectional doors?

Do ribs affect strength?

The pressed ribs stiffen the steel skin slightly, which helps wide doors stay flat. Insulated cores do most of the stiffening on double-skin panels.

What colours are available?

Ribbed doors come in standard colours such as white and anthracite grey on most ranges, with many RAL colours to order.

Which options are available in Poole?

  • Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
  • WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
  • Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
  • TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.

How much does a ribbed sectional door cost in Poole?

Guide price: £1,695–£2,795 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.

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.

Do you need permission in Poole?

The planning authority for Poole is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.

A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.

Questions from Poole customers

Does a ribbed door show dents less?

The ribs and textured finish disguise small marks better than smooth flush panels.

What is the difference between M-rib and L-rib?

M-rib (medium) has several fine ribs per section; L-rib (large) has one wide rib per section. It is a style choice.

Which parts of Poole do you cover?

We cover Poole across postcode districts BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15, BH17, along with nearby Bournemouth, Ferndown and Christchurch. Dates are agreed when you book.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Poole?

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. If in doubt, check with Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.
