Rules that apply in Thurso
Thurso is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Power cut: Every powered door has a manual release so it can be opened by hand. If the garage is your only way into the house, ask about battery backup.
- Planning: Replacing a garage door is not usually a planning matter, but listed buildings and conditions on newer estates can restrict changes, so check if unsure.
- Safety devices: Powered doors need force limiting or a safety edge and must be set up and tested at installation. We hand over the instructions and a record of the settings.

Frequently asked questions
How long does fitting take?
Most single doors are fitted in a day, including removing the old door and setting up the safety devices.
Can a roller door replace my up-and-over door?
Yes. It fits the same opening, usually behind it on the inside, and gives you back the full width and the ceiling space.
Do I need permission for roller garage doors in Thurso?
It depends on the property. Swapping a garage door in the same opening is not usually a planning matter, but some estates have conditions on front elevations and listed buildings need consent. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Do you cover Thurso?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Thurso in the usual way; it is covered as part of Highlands & Islands.
