Up-and-over to sectional door replacement: what matters for Stornoway garages
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.
Will the opening need work?
Most openings take a sectional door with little preparation. Sometimes old timber subframes, damaged brick returns or an uneven floor need attention first. The survey picks this up so the price does not change on the day.

Planning and regulations for Stornoway homes
Planning questions for homes in Stornoway go to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.
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.

Questions from Stornoway customers
Is an up-and-over door dangerous when its springs go?
A failing up-and-over door can drop suddenly. If yours is slamming shut or feels heavy, stop using it and get it checked.
Can the new door be wider than the old one?
Fitting behind the opening often gives more clear width than the old frame did, but the brick opening itself sets the limit.
Do you cover Stornoway?
We cover Stornoway 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 Comhairle nan Eilean Siar 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 Comhairle nan Eilean Siar before ordering.
Which other places do you cover by arrangement?
In the Highlands and Islands we also cover other places across the area by arrangement, with any travel cost shown on the quote.
