Planning and regulations for Rochester homes
The planning authority for Rochester 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 Rochester 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 Rochester?
Yes. We cover Rochester, 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.
