What should Mountsorrel homeowners know about side sectional doors?
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.
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 can you choose for your Mountsorrel garage?
- FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.

Questions from Mountsorrel customers
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole door.
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.
Do you cover Mountsorrel?
Yes. We cover Mountsorrel, including postcode districts LE4. 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 Mountsorrel?
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 Leicester City Council.
