How we replace an up-and-over door in Limavady
- 1
Check the gear type first
Canopy and retractable frames behave differently in a Limavady opening, so we identify what is there before quoting.
- 2
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 BT49.
- 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.
- 4
Balance, lock and hand over
Spring tension set to the leaf weight, lock aligned, and manual operation demonstrated before we leave Limavady.

Limavady up-and-over FAQ
Q.Can an up-and-over door be automated?
Yes, with a boom operator and a converter arm. Retractable gear takes automation cleanly; canopy gear needs a conversion kit, which we price on the survey.
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.Do you fit Georgian panelled styles?
Yes. Georgian and vertical rib remain the two most requested patterns on traditional Limavady frontages, in white and woodgrain finishes.
Q.Do you cover Coleraine for up-and-over work?
Yes, Coleraine is about 13 miles from Limavady and sits on the same install route.
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 Limavady usually justify replacement.
Q.How much drive space does an up-and-over door need in Limavady?
The leaf swings out roughly a third of its height as it opens, so allow around 600 mm clear in front. On short Limavady drives we usually recommend a roller instead.
