What types of garage doors do you supply?

We supply a wide range of garage doors to suit different homes, garages and requirements. Our options include up and over, sectional, side-hinged and roller shutter garage doors. We can help you choose the right style based on your available space, security requirements, appearance and budget.

What is the best type of garage door for my home?

There isn’t one garage door that is right for every property. The best option depends on factors such as the size of your garage, driveway space, desired level of insulation, security and whether you want a manual or automatic door.

Our experienced team can discuss your requirements and recommend suitable options for your property.

What are the benefits of a roller shutter garage door?

Roller shutter garage doors are a popular choice where space is important. They open vertically and roll into a compact box above the garage opening, allowing you to park close to the door.

They can also provide good insulation and security, while giving you a greater drive-through width and height compared with some traditional garage door designs.

Are your roller shutter garage doors made to measure?

Yes. Our roller shutter garage doors are bespoke and made to suit each individual structural opening. They are manufactured using insulated aluminium slats and are available in a choice of options to suit different requirements.

What are sectional garage doors?

Sectional garage doors are made from a series of insulated panels that open vertically and sit beneath the ceiling when the door is open.

They offer excellent insulation and can provide a wider drive-through opening. Our sectional doors are available in a wide variety of colours and styles and can be made to measure.

Are sectional garage doors insulated?

Yes. Our sectional garage doors use insulated panels designed to provide a high level of thermal insulation. This makes them a suitable option for garages where maintaining a more comfortable temperature or improving energy efficiency is important.

What is an up and over garage door?

An up and over garage door is a traditional and reliable garage door design. The complete door panel tilts upwards and moves into the garage when opened.

They are an economical option and are available in a variety of styles, colours and materials, including steel, timber and GRP.

Do you supply side-hinged garage doors?

Yes. We supply and install side-hinged garage doors. They are a practical option where you want convenient pedestrian access without opening the entire garage door.

They are available in different styles and finishes to complement your property.

Can garage doors be electric or automatic?

Yes. We supply and install both manual and electrically operated garage doors. We can also automate many existing garage doors, allowing you to open and close the door at the press of a button.

Can you automate my existing garage door?

In many cases, yes. If you already have a garage door that you are happy with but would like the convenience of automatic operation, we can install an appropriate automation system.

Automation kits are also available for customers who prefer to install them themselves.

What happens if there is no electricity in my garage?

There are automation options available for garages without a mains power supply. Battery-powered motors can be installed, and where appropriate we can also install a power point.

Battery-powered solutions are available for certain garage door applications, providing automatic operation without requiring a conventional mains connection.

Will I be able to open my automatic garage door during a power cut?

Yes. Depending on the system installed, an external override or battery backup can be provided so that the garage can still be accessed manually if there is a power failure.

We can discuss the most suitable option for your garage when specifying your automation system.

How secure are modern garage doors?

Security is an important consideration when choosing a garage door. Our range includes robust doors designed to provide security for your garage and belongings.

The level of security will depend on the type and specification of door selected, so our team can discuss the options available for your property.

Are garage doors insulated?

Some garage doors offer significantly more insulation than others. Our insulated roller shutter and sectional garage doors are designed to help improve thermal performance.

If insulation is important to you, we can explain the differences between the available door types and help you choose a suitable option.

How much does a new garage door cost?

The cost of a new garage door depends on several factors, including the size of the opening, door type, materials, colour, specification and whether you require manual or electric operation.

We can provide advice and pricing based on your individual requirements.

Can I choose the colour and style of my garage door?

Yes. There are a variety of colours, styles and finishes available across our garage door range. Sectional doors, for example, can be supplied in a wide selection of colours and can be made in different styles to complement your property.

Do you offer bespoke garage doors?

Yes. We provide made-to-measure solutions, particularly for roller shutter and sectional garage doors. This allows the door to be specified to suit the dimensions and requirements of your individual garage.

Do you install the garage doors yourselves?

Yes. Our experienced team supplies and installs garage doors. Professional installation helps ensure the door is correctly fitted, operates smoothly and provides the intended level of security and performance.

Do you repair garage doors as well as install them?

Yes. We repair all types of garage doors and carry a wide range of spare parts. Depending on the problem, we can repair components such as cables, wheels, spindles, springs, handles and locks.

We also offer parts supply if you prefer to carry out the repair yourself.

How long does a garage door last?

The lifespan of a garage door depends on the type of door, how frequently it is used, the quality of the installation and how well it is maintained.

Regular maintenance and addressing faults promptly can help keep your garage door operating properly for longer.

Does a garage door need regular maintenance?

Regular checks can help maintain the performance and longevity of your garage door. This can include checking moving components, lubrication where appropriate and inspecting automatic systems.

If you notice unusual noises, resistance or problems with the door opening and closing, it is worth having the door inspected.
