Automatic Garage Doors Maresfield East Sussex
A customer in Maresfield wanted his existing garage doors converted to electric garage doors. A brief site inspection confirmed that the existing garage doors were the fully retractable type and very easily automated. We returned a week later to install two Hormann Pro-Matic electric garage door openers. Both doors could now be opened and closed using a single radio hand transmitter.

Garage Door Repairs Oxted Surrey: Some garage doors are often left to get in a poor state of repair before we are called out. This garage door was a Westland Garador MK3C garage door. Not only were both cables broken but one spring was also broken and the other one missing. The best solution for this job was to fit a new springbox and cable set. This replaces the majority of the moving parts on the garage door. Once the springbox was fitted the door was given a service and all working parts were lubricated.

Garage Doors Tunbridge Wells Kent: A customer in Tunbridge Wells did not use their garage for parking the car, but as a utilty room. They found it tiresome, continually lifting up their rickety up & over garage door to go to the fridge or washing machine. The solution was to install a pair of Garador, steel, side hinged garage doors. The doors were supplied with a 2/3 & 1/3 split. This gave a smaller door for everyday access but could be opened fully to get a car in if required. The garage doors were also fitted with stays to prevent them blowing open or closed in the wind
