Choosing a sectional door with a pass door for a home in Chester
Is a separate side door better?
If there is space for a side door, it is usually easier to use and keeps the main door simpler. Where there is not, a pass door is the neat answer.
Why choose a pass door?
Opening a whole garage door to grab a bike or bin lets out heat and takes time. A pass door gives quick, everyday access and keeps the main door shut.

- Low thresholdOn selected ranges.
- Lock and handleMatched to the door.

Chester falls under Cheshire West and Chester Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Chester customers
Can a pass door be added to my existing sectional door?
Not usually. The pass door is built into the door at the factory, so it is ordered with a new door.
How much does a pass door add?
A sectional door with an integrated pass door is typically from £3,995 supplied and fitted, as it is a specialist build.
Do you cover Chester?
Yes. We cover Chester, including postcode districts CH1, CH2. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Cheshire West and Chester Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, ask Cheshire West and Chester Council before ordering.
