Key questions about sectional doors with a pass door in Peterlee

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.

Can every door have one?

Pass doors are only offered on certain ranges, widths and designs, and the door must be wide enough to accommodate the pass door with sections either side.

What rules apply in Peterlee?

Peterlee falls under Durham County 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 Peterlee customers

Is there a step to get through a pass door?

Yes, there is a threshold. Low-threshold versions reduce it on some ranges.

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.

Which parts of Peterlee do you cover?

We cover Peterlee across postcode districts SR8, TS28, along with nearby Seaham, Hartlepool and Durham. Dates are agreed when you book.

Will Durham County 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 Durham County Council before ordering.

Do you also cover towns near Peterlee?

Yes. Close to Peterlee we also cover Seaham (5 mi), Hartlepool (7 mi), Durham (10 mi) and Spennymoor (11 mi).
