Our woodgrain sectional door service covers Berkshire: Reading, Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead, plus the surrounding area, with each door made to measure after a free survey.
A woodgrain sectional garage door is a steel sectional door finished to look like timber, using a printed or laminated woodgrain foil such as golden oak, walnut or rosewood over the steel panels. You get the warmth of timber with the low upkeep, insulation and stability of steel.

What should you know about woodgrain sectional doors in Berkshire?
Why not a real timber sectional door?
Real timber sectional doors exist and look superb, but timber moves with the seasons and needs regular finishing. A woodgrain-effect steel door keeps its colour and shape with only an occasional wash.
Can it match my front door and windows?
Many woodgrain effects are chosen to match common window and door foils. Bring a sample or a photo to the survey and we will compare.
Will the finish fade?
Good foils are UV-stable and made for outdoor use, though south-facing doors in strong sun will always weather faster than shaded ones.
Which options can you choose?
- Ribbed or cassetteWoodgrain on several panel designs.
- Golden oakWarm mid-tone.
- Darker woodsWalnut or rosewood effects on many ranges.
- Matching side doorSame effect on a pedestrian door.
How much does a woodgrain sectional door cost in Berkshire?
Guide price: £2,295–£3,195 inc VAT. The figure includes VAT, fitting and taking away a standard old door. Your survey turns it into a fixed price.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. We measure width, height, headroom, side room and depth, and look at power for an operator.
What rules apply in Berkshire?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Berkshire include Bracknell Forest Council, Reading Council, Slough Council, West Berkshire Council, Windsor and Maidenhead Council and Wokingham Council.

Can I get a real timber sectional door?
