Choosing a side sectional door for a home in Peterlee

Is it electric?

Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.

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.

What can you choose for your Peterlee garage?

  • Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
  • FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
  • Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.

How much does a side sectional door cost in Peterlee?

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.

The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
