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

Do you need permission in Central London?
If your property in Central London is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Westminster City Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Central London customers
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole door.
Can a side sectional door be insulated?
Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.

Yes. We cover Central London, including postcode districts W1D, WC2E, WC2H, WC2N, WC2R. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Westminster City Council need to approve my new garage door?
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, ask Westminster City Council before ordering.
