Automation, Supply, Fitting & Repairs

Radlett is one of the places we are asked to most often, and it has been for decades. The Avenue, Loom Lane, Newlands, Cobden Hill, the roads off Watling Street and out towards Aldenham and Letchmore Heath: large detached houses, nearly all of them with a double garage, nearly all of those garages automated.

That means a lot of doors that need looking after. Our work in Radlett is servicing and repair as much as anything: doors that have become noisy, operators that have given up after fifteen years, handsets lost with a car. And when a house is rebuilt, which happens constantly here, a new pair of doors to go with it.

Local Knowledge

What Radlett garages need

The new builds and the big extensions want a door that matches the architecture, and that is usually a Hormann sectional in anthracite or a timber effect finish, insulated, and driven by a Supramatic for the speed. A wide, heavy sectional on a standard operator is slow and works the motor hard; the step up costs £50 more and is worth it on every double door.

The older houses along The Avenue and around the village centre are a different matter. Timber suits them, and Cedar Doors make solid doors to your opening in western red cedar, stained or oiled. They are heavier than steel, so the operator choice matters again, and a side hinged pair needs a hinge kit at £80 plus VAT.

If you already have automatic doors and they are simply getting older, we would rather service them than sell you new ones. A service once a year keeps the springs balanced and the safety reverse working, and catches a fraying cable before it lets go. We service every make, including doors fitted by companies that no longer trade.
