GD Repair • August 17, 2024

We provide a broad selection of garage door repair and fitting in Rainham, including retractable, and automated options.

High-Quality Installations

We guarantee that you will receive an installation of the greatest calibre and that it will last you for many years to come. Thanks to our unparalleled knowledge and competence.

Customised Solutions

Additionally, we can customise our installations to meet any needs and go well with the current hue and design of your home.

Double Garage Upgrades

If you want to improve your double garage, we can quickly change the size, design, and finish of your two single garage doors into a single double garage door.

Ensuring Proper Installation

For years of trouble-free use, your new door has to be placed straight and plumb. Similarly, for your door to function and look its best, its entrance has to be square and plumb.

Site Conditions and Considerations

As always, we'd like to highlight a few unfavourable site circumstances that might compromise the functionality of your new door:

 

Sturdy Fixings: In order to discover sturdy fixings, we may need to drill many holes while looking for strong spots to fasten into the ceiling or walls of your garage.

 

Floor Level: We typically anticipate having front and garage doors placed when the floor is completed. To ensure that the door is installed at the proper height and location if the finished floor is not yet in place, you must clearly mark the location of the finished floor level on the reveals.

 

Plastering: It is necessary to complete any plastering in your garage before installing the door, especially the ceiling. Plaster in the door's tracks, guides, or other mechanisms will deteriorate the door and violate the guarantee.

 

Structural Requirements: A crossbeam at the top and an upright on each side are required. Additionally, you may want to add a cross-section at the bottom, but this will create a lip that you will need to cross while bringing items into and out of your garage, which is not ideal if you intend to park your car there!

Fixing and Securing

We will need to record your measurements if we are simply to utilise wall plug fittings. We normally only need around four screws in each upright, so we will drill regular holes and hammer in the wall plugs.

 

Next, we use long screws to insert the uprights into the wall plug after drilling a few pilot holes in them.
