Questions from Durham customers

Can I get a real timber sectional door?

Timber sectional doors are available from some makers. We can quote, but they need regular finishing to stay in good condition.

Does a woodgrain door need varnishing?

No. It is a factory finish on steel, so it only needs washing.

Do you cover Durham?

Yes. We cover Durham, including postcode districts DH1. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.

Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Durham?

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, check with Durham County Council.
