Choosing a side sectional door for a home in Galashiels
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.
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.

Planning and regulations for Galashiels homes
If your property in Galashiels is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Scottish Borders Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.

Questions from Galashiels customers
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole door.
Can a side sectional door be insulated?
Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes. We cover Galashiels, including postcode districts TD1. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Scottish Borders Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, ask Scottish Borders Council before ordering.
