Questions from Harpenden customers
Does a woodgrain door need varnishing?
No. It is a factory finish on steel, so it only needs washing.

Yes. We cover Harpenden, including postcode districts AL3, AL5. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Will the local district or borough council need to approve my new garage door?
Usually not.

If in doubt, ask the local district or borough council before ordering.
