Key questions about side sectional doors in St Helens
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.
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.

Questions from St Helens 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.
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.
Do you cover St Helens?
Yes. We cover St Helens, including postcode districts WA9, WA10, WA11. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will St Helens 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 St Helens Council before ordering.
