We supply and fit ribbed sectional doors across Greater London, including Central London, Islington, Bexley and Barking, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.

What should you know about ribbed sectional doors in Greater London?
Is a ribbed door the cheapest option?
Ribbed designs in white are often the entry point to a range, which makes them good value, but premium ranges offer ribbed panels too.
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
How much does a ribbed sectional door cost in Greater London?

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 Greater London?
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 Greater London is handled by the London borough councils (Westminster City Council in central London), not the Greater London Authority.
