    Excellent communication.

    Posted 10 July

    They were very prompt at coming to measure for my new garage door. The communication was excellent. The installation today was done very professionally. I was given a demonstration by Kerry of how everything worked. Would highly recommend.

    A highly professional and competent service from start to finish!

    Posted 13 May

    I found this company a delight to work with. There was always a prompt answer to telephone enquiries, and good information about the products. I visited the office in Stalbridge and was able to see the garage doors in operation and look at the colours. When I made the order I was given a provisional date for installation and this was achieved! Kerry and Joe fitted the doors with no fuss at all and were efficient and very tidy workers. Thank you very much!

    Garage Doors installation x 2

    Posted 13 May

    I wanted both of our old garage doors to be replaced with new electric doors. Joe gave me a very competitive quote and once ordered, was able to install both doors within one day to my complete satisfaction.

Founded in 1991, Dorset Garage Doors is a Family business based in North Dorset, but covering areas of Somerset and Wiltshire. The team have gained considerable experience over the years augmented by factory courses at Garador, Hormann, Cardale, Henderson and Slavedor. We have expertise in the electrical operator field, carrying those spares available for older models.

Sectional doors have become something of a specialty, where careful fitting is essential. Their thermal and draught-proofing properties make them essential where the garage is part of the house. Having a cold garage under a bedroom almost guarantees a cold room. In conjunction with an operator these doors complement a house beautifully and add considerably to it’s value.

We are well worth talking to should you be planning to build a new garage or house – there are a bewildering number of types and sizes of garage doors available these days. Naturally, all our work is guaranteed, with Garador, our preferred product, carrying a 10 year warranty on most doors, with 5 years on their operators. We carry out a large number of repairs each year, which in turn necessitates carrying a wide range of spares.
