Borehamwood is largely post war, and that has a practical consequence for garage doors. A great deal of the housing went up from the 1950s onwards with attached or integral single garages, built to fairly consistent sizes. That is good news, because it means standard doors usually fit without anything having to be made to measure, and we can often quote accurately from a phone call.
Local Knowledge
Why Borehamwood garages are usually straightforward
Consistent openings mean stock sizes fit. A ribbed steel up and over door starts at £540 plus VAT for a standard 7ft by 7ft opening, and a Georgian panelled steel door at £740. We carry stock of the popular sizes, so the wait is often days rather than the weeks a made to measure door takes.
Integral garages, where the garage sits under or inside the house, are common here and they are the ones most worth insulating. An insulated sectional door makes a real difference to the room above or beside it, and it is quieter in operation than an up and over.
The other thing we do a lot of in Borehamwood is replacing the frame at the same time as the door. On a garage of this age the timber frame has often taken more weather than the door has. A new single frame, steel or timber, is £120 supplied and fitted, and it is far better done at the same visit than as a second job later.
