Start with a free in-home measure

Every good install begins with accurate measurements — the opening width and height, the headroom above the door, and the side room for tracks. These decide which doors and opener types fit, so a real in-home measure beats any phone estimate. It’s also the moment to see colour and window samples against your actual house.

Choosing material, insulation, and style

Steel is the most popular and affordable choice and takes paint and woodgrain finishes well. Aluminum-and-glass full-view doors are the modern, high-end look; carriage-style doors add traditional charm. For an attached London garage, insulation matters: an insulated door holds heat through the winter, runs quieter, and helps any room above the garage. Windows and decorative hardware are where you personalize the look.

Install day: what to expect

Most residential installs take a single day. The crew removes and hauls away the old door and hardware, mounts the new tracks and panels, fits and tensions the springs, installs or reconnects the opener, and balances and safety-tests the door before walking you through it. You don’t need to do anything but clear the garage bay beforehand.
