Choosing a replacement sectional door for a home in Thurso
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.
Can I keep the car in the garage that day?
No. The garage needs to be clear just inside the opening while we work. Everything else can stay.
What can you choose for your Thurso garage?
- Fit behind the openingFor maximum clear width.
- Removal and disposalOld door, frame and springs.
- TrimsTo tidy reveals and the head.
- Electric upgradeOperator and remotes.

What rules apply in Thurso?
The planning authority for Thurso is Highland Council. A replacement garage door is usually outside planning control, but it is worth a quick check where conditions apply.
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 Thurso 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 Thurso?

Will Highland 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 Highland Council before ordering.
