    First class!

    Posted 24 February

    Absolutely first class service, I was first visited just before Christmas and given a price. I asked if we could hold off doing the job because it meant leaving my beloved Classic car out in the rain, and this was absolutely no problem whatsoever. Today the Sun is shining and my garage door is working perfectly. A very professional and friendly service, I have recommended them to do two doors at my daughter’s house, and I would absolutely recommend them to anybody. Good old-fashioned friendly professional professional helpful service done with a smile thanks guys!

    Fantastic service !!

    Posted 09 February

    Superb service from Charlton of The Garage Door Man ! Diagnosed the problem very quickly and spotted another minor issue, that could have led to future problems with my door. Fixed everything and the cost was less than originally quoted. Great service all round !!

    Garage door not responding to remote controls.

    Posted 10 January

    Our garage door would not respond to the remote controls. Daniel came out and found that the motor was not working. He initially changed the fuse in case that would fix it. Unfortunately it didn't and he then fitted a new motor. He was very helpful and kept us informed at all stages. I wish we had bought the garage door from him originally as it was only 4 years old and the original suppliers were most unhelpful when we contacted them.
