Key questions about new sectional garage doors in Bathgate
What is checked at survey?
We measure the opening width and height, headroom above the opening, side room either side, the depth of the garage, and the condition of the brickwork, lintel and floor. We also look at power for an operator and anything that could get in the way of the tracks.
Why does balancing matter?
A balanced door should stay roughly where you leave it part-open. If the springs are set too light or too heavy, the door wears faster and the operator works harder. Balancing is a key step we never skip.

Bathgate falls under West Lothian Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
For most Scottish homes a replacement garage door needs no planning application. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the cases to check with the council first.
Electrical work for an operator in Scotland should meet BS 7671 and be certified by a competent electrician; a warrant is not normally needed.

Questions from Bathgate customers
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to be there at the start and for the handover at the end, so we can agree the details and show you how everything works.
How long does it take to install a sectional garage door?
Most domestic doors are fitted in one day once the door has been made. The quote gives the expected lead time for manufacture.
Do you cover Bathgate?
Yes. We cover Bathgate, including postcode districts EH48. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Bathgate?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, check with West Lothian Council.
