Garage door

Anyone know anything about garage doors???

I need a new garage door and had a guy out today, he has quoted me £440 + VAT for a Henderson Merlin canopy (cheapest one) approx 7ft x 6ft 3" and this also includes a new frame fitted.

I have never had to buy a garage door, so i don't know if this is good or not. Also this is the only guy/company i know that does garage doors in the lincoln area!

    The door alone will be around 350 so a good deal.

  • We paid £368 about 12 months ago from the garage door company in Leeds. Excellent service.

    ivrytwr3, where abouts in the country are you?

    The company I work for sell spares to the industrial door trade. I may be able to put you in contact with someone in your area.
