Garage Doors in Chorleywood

Automation, Supply, Fitting & Repairs

Chorleywood, Loudwater and Chorleywood Bottom are about as far west as we go without a travel charge, and the houses there are among the biggest we work on. Long drives, hidden entrances, garages that are sometimes a separate building altogether.

We are honest about distance: for a quote on a new door we are happy to come out, and for a repair we will want to talk it through on the phone first so that when we do drive over we arrive with the right parts and fix it in one visit.

Local Knowledge

Large plots, hidden garages, and range

The Loudwater estate and the roads around the Common are private, wooded and generous, and the garages on them are often double or triple, sometimes with a room above. Insulated sectional doors suit these: quiet, warm, and they rise vertically so a long car can be parked hard up against them. Hormann's insulated ranges are what we fit most here.

Timber is the other common request, because a good many of the houses are Arts and Crafts or 1920s in style and a steel door jars. Cedar Doors make solid cedar doors to size, and for a very wide opening a pair of side hinged timber doors with a hinge kit is a handsome answer.

The practical problem particular to Chorleywood is range. A long, curved drive with trees means the handset is often pressed a long way from the door, and a receiver that worked fine on a suburban plot struggles. An external aerial or a better receiver sorts it, and it is a small job.
