What should Lerwick 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.
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.

Questions from Lerwick 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 much does installation cost?
Installation is included in our supply-and-fit prices. A typical single door is around £2,095–£2,795 supplied and fitted.
Do you cover Lerwick?
We cover Lerwick 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 Lerwick?
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 Shetland Islands Council.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover other places across the area by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
