Ribbed sectional garage doors in West Sussex
Our ribbed sectional door service covers West Sussex: Crawley, Worthing, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A ribbed sectional garage door has panels pressed with horizontal ribs, either several fine ribs per panel (often called medium or M-rib) or one bold rib per panel (large or L-rib). The ribs give the door its classic linear look and help disguise the joints between sections.

What should you know about ribbed sectional doors in West Sussex?
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.
Fine ribs or large ribs?
Fine ribs give a busy, textured look that suits most homes and hides small marks well. Large ribs give a calmer, more architectural look with fewer lines, and suit modern houses and wide 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 options can you choose?
- WindowsOptional inserts in one section.
- Large rib (L-rib)One wide rib per section.
- TexturesStucco, woodgrain or smooth.
- Fine rib (M-rib)Several ribs per section.
How much does a ribbed sectional door cost in West Sussex?
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.
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 West Sussex?
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 West Sussex is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council.
