Choosing a new sectional garage door for a home in Galashiels
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 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.

- Making goodTrims and finishing round the opening.

What will a new sectional garage door cost in Galashiels?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,795 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
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.
Do you need permission in Galashiels?
Planning questions for homes in Galashiels go to Scottish Borders Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.
Scotland has no Part P, but the socket or spur for an operator should be installed and certified to BS 7671.

Questions from Galashiels 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.
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.
Which parts of Galashiels do you cover?

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Galashiels?
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 Scottish Borders Council.
