How to install a roller garage door.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Booking Installation

    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.

  6. Delivery & Inspection

    The door will be delivered to us. At this point we will check it over and make sure it matches your specification.

  7. Installation day

    The most exciting day. On the agreed date we will visit your home to carry out your roller garage door installation.

  8. Checking Measurements

    Before we remove the old door, we will recheck the measurements. This ensures the new door will fit perfectly, and that you will not be left without a secure garage.

  9. Removing the Old Door

    We’ll remove the existing garage door and framework, giving us a blank canvas to work from and allowing us to best utilise the space in your garage.

  10. Installing the New Door

    We will firmly attach your new roller garage door to the brickwork. We’ll also make the necessary electrical connections to power the motor and controls.

  11. Setup & Testing

    We will go throught the process of programming the door controls so it’s opens and closes in the right places and ensure the remote controls are paired with your door. We’ll then run a series of tests to ensure everything is working as it should.

  12. Finishing Touches

    We’ll remove protective films, and install any necessary trims and sealant around the door, to make sure it looks it’s best and stays that way.

  13. Handover

    At this point, we will show you how to use the door and controls and make sure you are happy with everything.

  14. Tidying Up

    We like to leave your garage tidier than we found it, so we will have a good clear up and make sure we havent left anything behind.

  15. Recycling

    We will take your old door, and any packaging and waste to a local waste handling company who will ensure it is recycled properly.

  16. Final Payment

    Once your roller garage door installation is complete and you’re happy, we will send an invoice and request the final balance to be paid.

  17. Aftercare

    We will give advice on keeping your door looking and working it’s best and are always available if you need any help.

Fantastic company.

Wanted to use a local independent company for my garage doors. Had been to the usual franchise companies and it was ok but felt like a production line.

These guys were so knowledgeable, helpful and attention to detail was second to none.

I’ll admit they were slightly more expensive than the franchise but literally only a by a small amount and I felt that was fair for the high level of service.

The job was done in less than a day and they left everything neat and tidy and gave me a lesson on the workings etc.

Highly recommend!

I have used the service where Sam came to us for giving the quote, unlike others he has made me aware of drain plate in the way at the bottom and also suggested alternative not to loose much width as it’s already very narrow. Once the quote is done and deposit paid , communication is very good about when the door will be installed and done excellent job. I will ask anyone to look no where else.
