Services
Sectional Garage Doors London
Sectional garage doors provide superior security and insulation through their multi-panel design. These vertically operating doors fold into ceiling tracks, making them ideal for garages with limited exterior space. Our Hormann-manufactured models feature spring-loaded mechanisms and weather-sealed panels, offering 40% better thermal efficiency than standard doors while maintaining smooth operation through 25,000+ cycle testing.
Roller Shutter Garage Doors London
Space-saving roller shutter doors vertically coil into compact housings, perfect for garages with restricted headroom. Constructed from reinforced aluminium slats with thermal break technology, these doors achieve U-values as low as 0.9 W/mK. Our automated models integrate with smart home systems and include manual override mechanisms, while the 0.5mm thick steel guides ensure 20% quieter operation compared to industry standards.
Composite Entrance Doors
Our composite entrance doors combine uPVC durability with timber aesthetics through advanced polymer cladding. Featuring 7-point locking systems and 48mm thick insulated cores, these doors achieve PAS 24:2016 security certification. The thermally broken frames reduce heat loss by 35% versus standard PVC doors, while the 10-year manufacturer warranty covers both structural integrity and colourfastness under UV exposure.
Garage Door Repairs
Emergency repair service addresses all garage door malfunctions including spring failures, track misalignment, and motor faults. Our engineers carry 30+ common replacement components and use laser alignment tools to recalibrate systems within 15-minute callouts. The diagnostic process includes safety checks for EN 12604 compliance, with repair guarantees covering both parts and labour for 12 months post-service.
Electric Garage Doors London
Electric garage doors integrate Somfy or Hormann automation systems with multi-frequency remote controls and manual key overrides. Our installations include safety sensors that detect obstructions within 0.1 seconds and backup battery operation maintaining 20 cycles during power outages. The smart-enabled models support voice control integration and provide real-time status alerts through dedicated mobile applications.
