Our woodgrain sectional door service covers the Scottish Borders: Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso, 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.

Can it match my front door and windows?

How convincing is the woodgrain?
Quality foils have a grain texture as well as a printed pattern, so they look and feel convincing from the drive. Up close, they read as a finish rather than real wood.

How much does a woodgrain sectional door cost in the Scottish Borders?
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.
At the free survey we measure everything the manufacturer needs, check the brickwork, lintel and floor, and agree the door details with you.
What rules apply in the Scottish Borders?
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 the Scottish Borders include Scottish Borders Council.
