Side sectional garage doors in Bristol
We supply and fit side sectional doors across Bristol, including postcode districts BS1, BS2, BS3, BS4, BS5 and more, 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 Bristol?
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.
How does it compare on price?
Side sectional doors are more specialised, so they usually cost more than an equivalent overhead sectional door.
Is it electric?
Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.
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.

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 Bristol?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Bristol include Bristol City Council.
