Garage Doors in Potters Bar
Automation, Supply, Fitting & Repairs
Potters Bar is where the business has been since 1980, so this is the one town where we are not travelling to you at all. If you are in EN6 we can usually take a look at your door within a day or two of you calling, and there is no charge for coming out.
Being local also means we know the housing here. A lot of Potters Bar is interwar and post war family housing, and a great many of those garages were built with a standard single up and over door that has now done fifty or sixty years of service. Those doors are usually excellent candidates for automation rather than replacement, which is the cheaper answer and the one we will tell you about first.
Local Knowledge
What we see on Potters Bar garages
The most common job in EN6 is automating an existing up and over door. If the door is sound, running true on its tracks and has the two inches of headroom we need, there is often no reason to replace it. A Hormann Promatic on an existing door costs £360 plus VAT for the equipment and £100 to fit, which is a fraction of a new automated door.
The second most common is a full replacement where the original door has gone past saving. Rust along the bottom edge, a bowed panel, or a frame that has rotted where it meets the brickwork are the usual reasons. We can supply and fit a new door and take the old one away in the same visit.
Newer properties around the town tend to have sectional doors or integral garages, which automate very cleanly and are worth insulating if the garage shares a wall with the house.
