Questions from Stanley customers
Does a woodgrain door need varnishing?
No. It is a factory finish on steel, so it only needs washing.
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.
Which parts of Stanley do you cover?
We cover Stanley across postcode districts DH9, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Consett and Durham. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Durham County 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 Durham County Council before ordering.
