What should Folkestone homeowners know about ribbed sectional doors?

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 surface texture?

Ribbed panels are usually offered with a stucco-embossed texture, a woodgrain texture, or a smooth finish. Textured finishes hide fingerprints and light scratches better; smooth finishes look sharper but show marks more.

  • Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.

What will a ribbed sectional door cost in Folkestone?

Guide price: £1,695–£2,795 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.

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.

What rules apply in Folkestone?

The planning authority for Folkestone is the local district or borough council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.

English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Folkestone customers

Can ribbed doors have windows?

Yes, window inserts can be set into one section on most ranges.

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.

Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?

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, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
