Side sectional garage doors – example of the door type

Choosing a side sectional door for a home in Doncaster

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.

Options and upgrades for Doncaster homes

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

What will a side sectional door cost in Doncaster?

Guide price: from £3,495 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.

Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.

Planning and regulations for Doncaster homes

Doncaster falls under Doncaster 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 Doncaster 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.

Which parts of Doncaster do you cover?

We cover Doncaster across postcode districts DN1, DN2, DN4, DN5, along with nearby Maltby, Thorne and Rawmarsh. Dates are agreed when you book.

Will Doncaster 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 Doncaster Council before ordering.

Do you also cover towns near Doncaster?

Yes. Close to Doncaster we also cover Maltby (8 mi), Thorne (9 mi), Rawmarsh (10 mi) and Dinnington (11 mi).
