Side sectional garage doors in Ayrshire
We supply and fit side sectional doors across Ayrshire, including Kilmarnock, Ayr, Irvine and Kilwinning, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
A side sectional garage door is made of vertical panels that run sideways on a curved track and park along the inside wall of the garage instead of under the ceiling. It suits garages with little or no headroom, ceilings you want to keep clear, or roof spaces used for storage, and it can be opened part-way for walking in and out.

What should you know about side sectional doors in Ayrshire?
How does it compare on price?
Side sectional doors are more specialised, so they usually cost more than an equivalent overhead sectional door.
Can you use it as a pedestrian door?
Yes. Because the door slides sideways, you can open it just far enough to walk through, which saves having a separate side door.
Is it secure?
The door runs in a top and bottom track and locks at the closing edge. Motorised versions are held closed by the drive when shut.
Which options can you choose?
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
- Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
How much does a side sectional door cost in Ayrshire?
Guide price: from £3,495 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in Ayrshire?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in Ayrshire include East Ayrshire Council, North Ayrshire Council and South Ayrshire Council.
