How much does a woodgrain sectional door cost in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Guide price: £2,295–£3,195 inc VAT. That covers the door, fitting, removal of a standard old door and VAT; the fixed price follows the free survey.
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 Edinburgh and the Lothians?
In Scotland, works that do not materially change the outside appearance of a house are not usually development, so a like-for-like garage door is normally fine. The householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply in conservation areas, so a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed building consent is a separate requirement. Your council planning team can confirm.
Planning authorities in Edinburgh and the Lothians include City of Edinburgh Council, East Lothian Council, Midlothian Council and West Lothian Council.
