What should Kelso homeowners know about replacement sectional doors?
Can I keep the car in the garage that day?
No. The garage needs to be clear just inside the opening while we work. Everything else can stay.
Does the sectional door go behind or in the opening?
Fitting behind the opening usually gives the best clear width and seals well against the inside face of the wall. In some garages fitting within the opening is necessary; the survey decides.

Is an up-and-over door dangerous when its springs go?
A failing up-and-over door can drop suddenly. If yours is slamming shut or feels heavy, stop using it and get it checked.

We cover Kelso across postcode districts TD5, along with nearby Galashiels. Dates are agreed when you book.
Will Scottish Borders Council need to approve my new garage door?
