Side sectional garage doors: what matters for Bath garages

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 does it compare on price?

Side sectional doors are more specialised, so they usually cost more than an equivalent overhead sectional door.

Which options are available in Bath?

  • FinishesMost ribbed, flush and woodgrain finishes, with vertical panel joints.
  • Partial openingWalk-through position on motorised versions.
  • Electric or manualDedicated side-sliding operator or manual handle and lock.

What will a side sectional door cost in Bath?

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.

Do you need permission in Bath?

The planning authority for Bath is Bath and North East Somerset Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.

A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.

Questions from Bath 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.

Can a side sectional door be insulated?

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

Do you cover Bath?

Yes. We cover Bath, including postcode districts BA1, BA2. 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 Bath?

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 Bath and North East Somerset Council.

Do you also cover towns near Bath?

Yes. Close to Bath we also cover Keynsham (6 mi) and Frome (10 mi).
