Traditional up-and-over doors for Lurgan homes
Aging high-cycle shutters in food-grade and logistics units.
Up-and-over doors are still the default on the older housing stock around Lurgan, and they are the leaf we replace most across BT66.
Panel pattern matters more than most people expect on a Lurgan frontage: Georgian reads traditional, vertical rib reads plain and modern.
logistics depots around Lurgan were largely built with a single-skin steel canopy door and a timber subframe behind it.
Where up-and-over still beats the alternatives in Lurgan
Silverwood and Carn estates keep our commercial crew busy three days a week. We build that into every Lurgan survey, not the price sheet.
On the residential side, Lurgan is dominated by terraced housing and industrial units. That tilts our default spec toward warmth and longevity over cheapest-up-front.
Lurgan sits 20 mi from Belfast and 10 mi from our Dromore yard via the A3 (with M1 access).

Survey, subframe, leaf, balance
- 1
Check the gear type first
Canopy and retractable frames behave differently in a Lurgan 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 BT66.
- 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.

Balance, lock and hand over
Spring tension set to the leaf weight, lock aligned, and manual operation demonstrated before we leave Lurgan.

Up-and-over questions from Lurgan homeowners
Q.How much drive space does an up-and-over door need in Lurgan?
The leaf swings out roughly a third of its height as it opens, so allow around 600 mm clear in front. On short Lurgan drives we usually recommend a roller instead.
Q.Do you fit Georgian panelled styles?
Yes. Georgian and vertical rib remain the two most requested patterns on traditional Lurgan frontages, in white and woodgrain finishes.
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 cover Waringstown for up-and-over work?
Yes, Waringstown is about 4 miles from Lurgan 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 Lurgan usually justify replacement.
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.
