Why Hillsborough doors fail when they do
Period façades around the Square mean finish-matching matters more here than spec sheets. We build that into every Hillsborough survey, not the price sheet.
Most of the commercial work we do around Hillsborough lands inside Sprucefield retail/commercial cluster. Repeat installs come from word-of-mouth across those estates.
On the residential side, Hillsborough is dominated by detached housing and new build estates. Spec needs to match — what works on a coastal cottage isn't right for a new-build estate.
Hillsborough sits 13 mi from Belfast and 5 mi from our Dromore yard via the A1 (with M1 (Sprucefield) access).
