Side sectional garage doors in County Londonderry
Our side sectional door service covers County Londonderry: Derry, Coleraine, Limavady and Magherafelt, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
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 County Londonderry?
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 electric?
Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.
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?
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.

- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
How much does a side sectional door cost in County Londonderry?
Guide price: from £3,495 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.

What rules apply in County Londonderry?
In Northern Ireland, fitting a new door within an existing opening generally does not need planning permission. If the property is listed, in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction, check with your council planning office before ordering, as consent may be needed for changes to the outside of the building.
Planning authorities in County Londonderry include Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Derry City and Strabane District Council and Mid Ulster District Council.
Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.

Questions about side sectional garage doors in County Londonderry
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole door.
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.
Can a side sectional door be insulated?
Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.
Which towns in County Londonderry do you cover?
We cover Derry, Coleraine, Limavady and Magherafelt and other towns across County Londonderry.
Do I need planning permission in County Londonderry?
Usually not when the door goes into the existing opening. In Northern Ireland, check first if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
