Side sectional garage doors in Magherafelt

Side sectional garage doors: what matters for Magherafelt garages

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.

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.

Planning and regulations for Magherafelt homes

If your property in Magherafelt is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Mid Ulster District Council is the authority to check with before ordering.

In Northern Ireland a new door within the existing opening generally needs no planning permission. Listed buildings and conservation areas are the exceptions.

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.
