Choosing a replacement sectional door for a home in Gateshead
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.
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 can you choose for your Gateshead garage?
- Fit behind the openingFor maximum clear width.
- TrimsTo tidy reveals and the head.
- Removal and disposalOld door, frame and springs.
- Electric upgradeOperator and remotes.
What will a replacement sectional door cost in Gateshead?
Guide price: £2,095–£2,795 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.
What rules apply in Gateshead?
Gateshead falls under Gateshead Council for planning and building control, which is the place to check if your home is listed or in a conservation area.
English planning rules normally treat a replacement garage door as permitted. Listed status, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and estate planning conditions are what can change that.

Questions from Gateshead customers
How much does it cost to replace an up-and-over door with a sectional?
A typical single replacement, with the old door removed and a new insulated electric sectional fitted, is around £2,095–£2,795.
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.
Which parts of Gateshead do you cover?
We cover Gateshead across postcode districts NE1, NE2, NE4, NE6, NE8, NE99, along with nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Gosforth and Wallsend. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Gateshead Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not. Replacing a garage door, including with an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission in England unless the house is listed, in a conservation area or Article 4 area, or has planning conditions affecting the garage. If in doubt, ask Gateshead Council before ordering.
