Choosing a side sectional door for a home in Sandhurst
How much side room is needed?
The door parks along one side wall, so that wall needs to be clear for roughly the width of the door, plus a small amount of side room on the other jamb. Shelving, windows or a side door on the parking wall can rule it out, which is why we look at the whole garage at survey.
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.
What can you choose for your Sandhurst garage?
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
- Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
How much does a side sectional door cost in Sandhurst?
Guide price: from £3,495 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
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.

Will Bracknell Forest Council need to approve my new garage door?

If in doubt, ask Bracknell Forest Council before ordering.
