Key questions about single sectional doors in Kirkwall
What are the usual sizes?
Common UK openings are about 7 by 7 feet (2134 by 2134 mm), 7 feet 6 by 7 feet, and 8 by 7 feet (2438 by 2134 mm), but older and newer garages vary. The door is made to your measured opening.
Can you widen the drive-through width?
Many single sectional doors are fitted behind the opening, which can give a slightly wider clear opening than the old frame allowed. The survey shows what clear width you will end up with.

Guide price for a single sectional door in Kirkwall
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.
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 Kirkwall homes
If your property in Kirkwall is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Orkney Islands Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
In Scotland a door that does not materially change the look of the house is not usually development. A visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent.

Questions from Kirkwall customers
Can I have a manual door and add a motor later?
Usually, yes, as long as the door is suitable for powered operation and is set up and checked to the powered-door safety standard when the motor goes on.
Will I lose headroom inside the garage?
The door parks under the ceiling, so the clear height inside is reduced by the parked door and tracks. On low ceilings a low-headroom track keeps the door tighter to the ceiling.
Do you cover Kirkwall?
We cover Kirkwall by arrangement. Because of the distance, we confirm availability and any travel cost before you book, and the cost is shown separately on your quote.
Will Orkney Islands Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, ask Orkney Islands Council before ordering.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover Thurso and Wick by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
