Garage Doors in Barnet

Automation, Supply, Fitting & Repairs

Barnet is one of the areas we work in most, partly because it is close and partly because the housing throws up such a range of garage door problems. High Barnet, New Barnet, Chipping Barnet and the surrounding streets are all a short run down the A1000 from Potters Bar, and there is no travel charge.

The housing in Barnet is genuinely mixed, and that matters more than it sounds. A Victorian terrace with a garage squeezed onto the side needs a completely different answer from a 1930s semi with a detached garage at the end of the drive, and both are different again from a new build with an integral garage.

Local Knowledge

Barnet housing and what suits it

The interwar semis, of which Barnet has a great many, usually have a detached or side garage with a standard single opening. These are the bread and butter of what we do. An up and over door, automated with a Promatic or Supramatic, and the whole thing is done in a morning.

Around Monken Hadley and the older conservation areas, appearance matters more and a steel door can look wrong on the building. This is where timber comes into its own. Cedar Doors make proper timber doors that suit a period property, and they automate perfectly well, though a side hinged pair needs a supplementary hinge kit at £80 plus VAT.

On the narrower plots, particularly the Victorian and Edwardian streets, headroom and side room are often the constraint rather than the door itself. If you send us the opening size and a photo of the inside of the garage we will tell you honestly whether automation is possible before you spend anything.
