What should Kirkwall homeowners know about new sectional garage doors?
What happens on fitting day?
The old door is taken out, the opening is prepared, the frame and vertical tracks go in, the horizontal tracks are hung from the ceiling, the panels are assembled section by section, and the springs are fitted and set. The operator is fitted last, then everything is tested.
Do you supply doors for others to fit?
This service is supply and fit. Spring-loaded doors are dangerous to install without training, which is why we fit what we supply.

What rules apply in Kirkwall?
If your property in Kirkwall is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Orkney Islands Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
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.
Scotland has no Part P, but the socket or spur for an operator should be installed and certified to BS 7671.

Questions from Kirkwall customers
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 I need to clear the garage?
Please clear the area just inside the opening and along both side walls and the ceiling for the length of the tracks.
Do you cover Kirkwall?
We cover Kirkwall by arrangement. Because of the distance, we confirm availability and any travel cost before you book, and the cost is shown separately on your quote.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Kirkwall?
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 Orkney Islands Council.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover Thurso and Wick by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
