Check the gear type first
Canopy and retractable frames behave differently in a Ballymoney opening, so we identify what is there before quoting.

Measure structural opening and headroom
Up-and-over needs clear headroom above the lintel and swing room on the drive, both checked on site in BT53.
- 3
Fit to a steel or timber subframe
We renew the subframe where the old one has rotted rather than hanging a new leaf on tired timber.

Up-and-over questions from Ballymoney homeowners
Q.Canopy or retractable, which suits a agri buildings?
Canopy gear is simpler and leaves a third of the leaf projecting under the lintel. Retractable runs the leaf fully back on horizontal tracks, takes an operator better and suits wider Ballymoney openings.
Q.What does an up-and-over door cost fitted?
From £649 fitted for a standard single-skin steel canopy door, rising with GRP, timber and insulated leaves. Removal and disposal of your old door is included.
Q.How much drive space does an up-and-over door need in Ballymoney?
The leaf swings out roughly a third of its height as it opens, so allow around 600 mm clear in front. On short Ballymoney drives we usually recommend a roller instead.
Q.Is an up-and-over door insulated?
Standard steel and GRP leaves are single skin, so they are not. Insulated up-and-over leaves exist, but if warmth is the aim a sectional door performs far better.
Q.Will a new up-and-over fit my existing frame?
Often yes, but we quote the leaf and the subframe together so you are not left with a new door on failing timber.
Q.My existing door is stiff and catches. Repair or replace?
If the frame is square and only the springs, cones or rollers are worn, a repair visit fixes it. Rotted subframes and rusted bottom rails around Ballymoney usually justify replacement.
