Side sectional garage doors – example of the door type

What should Hertford homeowners know about side sectional doors?

Is it electric?

Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.

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.

Options and upgrades for Hertford homes

  • 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.

What will a side sectional door cost in Hertford?

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.

The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.

Planning and regulations for Hertford homes

The planning authority for Hertford is the local district or borough council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.

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.

Questions from Hertford customers

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.

Do you cover Hertford?

Yes. We cover Hertford, including postcode districts SG12, SG13, SG14. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Hertford?

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, check with the local district or borough council.

Do you also cover towns near Hertford?

Yes. Close to Hertford we also cover Ware (2 mi), Hoddesdon (4 mi), Welwyn Garden City (6 mi) and Hatfield (7 mi).
