What should Bathgate homeowners know about replacement sectional doors?
Does the sectional door go behind or in the opening?
Fitting behind the opening usually gives the best clear width and seals well against the inside face of the wall. In some garages fitting within the opening is necessary; the survey decides.
What happens to the old door?
We remove it, including its springs and frame, and take it away for disposal or recycling where quoted.

Planning and regulations for Bathgate homes
Bathgate falls under West Lothian Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.

A typical single replacement, with the old door removed and a new insulated electric sectional fitted, is around £2,095–£2,795.

Fitting behind the opening often gives more clear width than the old frame did, but the brick opening itself sets the limit.
