Side sectional garage doors – example of the door type

What should Litherland homeowners know about side sectional doors?

When does a side sectional beat an overhead door?

If you have a low ceiling, a beam just above the opening, ceiling storage or a loft hatch you want to keep using, a side-sliding door avoids the ceiling altogether. It needs clear wall space on one side instead.

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.

Options and upgrades for Litherland 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.

How much does a side sectional door cost in Litherland?

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 Litherland?

Litherland falls under Sefton Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

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 Litherland 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 a side sectional door be insulated?

Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.

Will Sefton 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 Sefton Council before ordering.
