Automation, Supply, Fitting & Repairs

Rickmansworth is a Metroland town with an affluent edge: 1930s avenues around the centre and Croxley Green, and much larger houses towards Moor Park, Loudwater and Batchworth Heath. We cover the whole of it, and the two halves bring us different work.

Being near the western edge of our area, we plan Rickmansworth visits carefully. Ring first, tell us what the door is doing, and we will very often sort it on the phone. If it needs us, we come with the right parts and finish in one visit.

Local Knowledge

Metroland garages and the bigger houses

The interwar semis and detached houses around Rickmansworth have garages built for smaller cars, and the openings can be narrow. Standard doors do not always fit; we measure and order made to measure, and a sectional gives you the full clear width where an up and over frame takes a few inches from each side. If the garage is simply too narrow for the car, we will say so rather than sell you a door for a garage you cannot use.

Towards Moor Park and Loudwater the garages are double and integral, and the doors are wide, heavy sectionals that need a Supramatic or Auto M2 operator to move them at a sensible speed. Most are automated already and want servicing more than replacing.

Rickmansworth has a lot of older automatic doors on operators from makers who have since disappeared. We recognise them, and we can usually tell you on the phone whether spares exist. When they do not, a new Hormann operator on the existing door is the economical answer.
