What should Bishop Auckland homeowners know about side sectional doors?
How does it compare on price?
Side sectional doors are more specialised, so they usually cost more than an equivalent overhead sectional door.
When does a side sectional beat an overhead door?
If you have a low ceiling, a beam just above the opening, ceiling storage or a loft hatch you want to keep using, a side-sliding door avoids the ceiling altogether. It needs clear wall space on one side instead.
Which options are available in Bishop Auckland?

Questions from Bishop Auckland customers
How much is a side sectional garage door?
As a guide, a side sectional door supplied and fitted is from £3,495, depending on size, finish and whether it is electric.
Will a side sectional fit if I have a side door?
It depends where the side door is. The parking wall needs to be clear, so a side door on that wall can stop it fitting.
Which parts of Bishop Auckland do you cover?
We cover Bishop Auckland across postcode districts DL4, DL14, along with nearby Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and Durham. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Bishop Auckland?
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, check with Durham County Council.
