Questions from Carrickfergus customers
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to be there at the start and for the handover at the end, so we can agree the details and show you how everything works.
Do I need to clear the garage?
Please clear the area just inside the opening and along both side walls and the ceiling for the length of the tracks.
Do you cover Carrickfergus?
Yes. We cover Carrickfergus, including postcode districts BT38. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will Mid and East Antrim Borough Council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not when the door goes into the existing opening. In Northern Ireland, check first if the property is listed or in a conservation area. If in doubt, ask Mid and East Antrim Borough Council before ordering.
