The Garage Door Company

The Garage Door Company: garage doors with installation across the UK

The Garage Door Company is a British company dedicated to the supply and installation of garage doors and other exterior joinery products for the home. The firm states it has over 35 years of activity in the sector and presents itself as the largest garage door retailer in the UK, a claim that corresponds to its own description and not to an independent measurement. Its proposition combines nationwide coverage with a local service, supported by showrooms distributed across different regions of the country.

Range of doors and closures

The main offering is organised into several product families. The catalogue includes sectional garage doors, up and over doors, roller doors, timber doors and side hinged doors, as well as personnel doors for pedestrian access and entrance doors for the home. This range is complemented by door canopies and garden gates, including those from the Cardale line and the DecoFence series, manufactured in Magnelis steel with powder coating according to the site's description. The company also offers a configurator to design your garage door.

Ordering, home survey and installation

The purchase process begins with a free, no-obligation home visit, during which a survey is carried out and a quote is prepared. The company states that every door includes a full guarantee and that the service covers everything from the survey to supply and installation, with delivery and fitting times it describes as fast. For new products such as door canopies, the site advertised free installation when purchased together with a garage or entrance door, with installation charges if bought separately.

Finance and commercial terms

The firm offers deferred payment options across its product range, subject to a minimum spend. The material details several options: 0% interest finance for up to 12 months, buy now pay later with a representative 19.9% APR, and monthly payments with interest at a representative 15.9% APR, with specific examples of instalments, deposits and total cost for sectional, roller and up and over doors. The catalogue also showed seasonal promotions, such as discounts of up to 30% on the garage door range and up to 20% on composite doors, as well as a Premium Thermalift 20 electric sectional model from £1,649, with prices subject to door size, site survey and individual installation requirements.

Coverage and showroom network

The company states it covers the whole of the UK and lists a wide range of locations served in England, Wales and Scotland, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle, Southampton, Nottingham and Sheffield. For its local service, it has showrooms in Nottingham, Leicester, Sheffield, Luton, Reading and Southampton; several of these are attended by appointment only. The company presents itself as a Which? Trusted Trader and maintains a section on accreditations, case studies, guides and FAQs, as well as a repairs service.
