How to install a roller garage door.
- Discussing Your Requirements
The first step is a very important one. Everyone has different ideas and expectations. What are you hoping to achieve from your new roller garage door? Is it the smart, sleek look? Do you want to maximise the usable space or opening size available? Is your existing door broken or cumbersome to use?
Once we know what your requirements are we are able to advise the best solution for you. - Measuring Up
For a garage door to look and work atit’s best it needs to fit the opening appropriately. In order to achieve a perfect fit we need to take accurate measurements of your garage. We’ll also look for a power source for the new door and for any other factors that may effect the installation.
- Quotation
The measurements we take during the survey, also allow us to provide an accurate fixed quotation for your new roller door and installation. We will detail the specification of the door and may provide multiple options for you to choose from, as per your requirements. We’ll send this across to you in writing, usually by email.
- Ordering
Once you are happy with the quotation and ready to proceed with an order, we ask that you pay the necessary deposit to secure the order. This can be paid by bank transfer, debit or credit card. Once we’ve received this we’ll process the order and send the details across to the factory in Norfolk, where they will start to produce your new roller garage door.

Once we receive a delivery date from the factory, we will be in touch with you to arrange a suitable date for your roller garage door installation.
