“I have recently used this firm to install an electric motor to my garage doors. I am absolutely thrilled with the work they did. From when they came to estimate until they had finished they were professional and reliable. Also very reasonable.”

★★★★★

“My door had previously been installed by Avalon and that was flawless. The motor had developed a fault — within no time from calling, Peter came out to assess the issue, shortly followed by the engineers who replaced the motor. Fantastic customer service and the guys that did the repair left everything how they found it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new garage door cost?

Garage door prices depend on size, type, finish and whether you want automation. We’ll give you a fixed written quote after a free site survey — no obligation to proceed.

Do you fit electric or automated garage doors?

Yes. Most doors we fit can be supplied with electric operation and remote control as standard, and we can retrofit motors to many existing manual garage doors.

Do you repair garage doors as well as fit new ones?

Yes — we repair and service garage doors from all major manufacturers, including doors we didn’t originally install.

How long does a garage door installation take?

Most replacement garage doors are fitted in half a day to a full day. New builds where the frame and electrics need running take longer — we’ll give you a clear timescale at the survey stage.

What areas do you cover?

We cover Preston and the wider Lancashire area — Bamber Bridge, Penwortham, Walton-le-Dale, Fulwood, Lostock Hall, Longridge, Leyland, Chorley, Lytham St Annes, Blackpool and surrounding towns. We also cover much of the North West for larger jobs.

Do you fit side-hinged garage doors?

Yes — though less often than up-and-over, sectional or roller doors. Side-hinged garage doors are a good option for garages used for storage as well as parking. Speak to us about layout and clearance and we’ll let you know if they’re right for you.

Do you offer free site surveys?

Yes. We come out, measure the opening, discuss the options and provide a written quote — all free, no obligation.
