What should Birmingham homeowners know about side sectional doors?
Is it secure?
The door runs in a top and bottom track and locks at the closing edge. Motorised versions are held closed by the drive when shut.
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.

What rules apply in Birmingham?
If your property in Birmingham is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Birmingham City Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
In England you can usually replace a garage door without planning permission. Check first if the house is listed, sits in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or was built with planning conditions covering the garage.

Questions from Birmingham customers
Can a side sectional door be insulated?
Yes, the panels are insulated in the same way as overhead sectional doors.
Can it open part-way?
Yes. Many installations use a pedestrian opening position so you can walk in without opening the whole door.
Do you cover Birmingham?
Yes. We cover Birmingham, including postcode districts B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B19. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Birmingham City 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 Birmingham City Council before ordering.
