Side sectional garage doors: what matters for Chatham garages
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.
Is it electric?
Side sectional doors can be motorised with a dedicated operator that runs along the head track. Manual versions are also available.

What rules apply in Chatham?
The planning authority for Chatham is Medway Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
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 Chatham customers
How much is a side sectional garage door?
As a guide, a side sectional door supplied and fitted is from £3,495, depending on size, finish and whether it is electric.
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole door.
Do you cover Chatham?
Yes. We cover Chatham, including postcode districts ME1, ME2, ME4, ME5, ME7. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Medway 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 Medway Council before ordering.
