Woodgrain and timber-effect sectional garage doors in Leicestershire
We supply and fit woodgrain sectional doors across Leicestershire, including Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville, with a free survey and a fixed written price for every door.
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 Leicestershire?
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.
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.
Which options can you choose?
- Golden oakWarm mid-tone.
- Ribbed or cassetteWoodgrain on several panel designs.
- 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 Leicestershire?
Guide price: £2,295–£3,195 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
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 Leicestershire?
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 in Leicestershire is handled by the district and borough councils, not the county council (Leicester City Council also cover parts of the area).

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.
How much is a woodgrain sectional garage door?
Woodgrain finishes usually add to the cost of a door. As a guide, a single woodgrain sectional door supplied and fitted is around £2,295–£3,195.
Does a woodgrain door need varnishing?
No. It is a factory finish on steel, so it only needs washing.

Do I need planning permission in Leicestershire?
Usually not.

Check with your local planning authority if in doubt.
