What should Kirkcaldy homeowners know about side sectional doors?
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.
How does it compare on price?
Side sectional doors are more specialised, so they usually cost more than an equivalent overhead sectional door.

Do you need permission in Kirkcaldy?
The planning authority for Kirkcaldy is Fife Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.
