What should Wigan 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.
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.
Which options are available in Wigan?
- Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.
- Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
How much does a side sectional door cost in Wigan?
Guide price: from £3,495 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in Wigan?
Wigan falls under Wigan Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.
