Single sectional garage doors in Devon
Looking for a single sectional door in Devon? We cover Plymouth, Exeter, Paignton and Torquay and the rest of the area, measuring, supplying and fitting each door.
A single sectional garage door covers a one-car opening, usually around 2.1 to 2.6 metres wide, with four or so horizontal panels that lift up and back along tracks to sit under the ceiling. It is the most common replacement for an old up-and-over door on UK homes, and it gives back the space a canopy door swings into.

What should you know about single sectional doors in Devon?
How long does the job take?
Swapping a single door is normally a one-day job: the old door comes out, the opening is prepared, and the new door is fitted, balanced, tested and handed over.
What finishes suit a single door?
Every design in the range is available in single sizes, from fine ribs and flush panels to Georgian-style cassettes and woodgrain effects.
Why replace an up-and-over with a single sectional?
An up-and-over door tilts out and up, so you cannot park close to it and it eats into the width of the opening. A sectional door lifts straight up, keeps the full width usable, seals better and is easier to motorise.
Which options can you choose?
- Manual or electricManual lock and handle, or operator with remotes.
- Window insertsDaylight panels in one section.
- Insulated panelsDouble-skin panels with foam core.
- ColoursStandard colours or RAL colours on most ranges.
How much does a single sectional door cost in Devon?
Guide price: £1,695–£3,195 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
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.
What rules apply in Devon?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning in Devon is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Plymouth City Council and Torbay Council also cover parts of the area).
