Key questions about side sectional doors in Frome
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.

The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
Planning and regulations for Frome homes
The planning authority for Frome is Somerset Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
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 Frome customers
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole 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 Frome?
Yes. We cover Frome, including postcode districts BA11. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Somerset 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 Somerset Council before ordering.
