Canopy and retractable frames behave differently in a Markethill 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 BT60.

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.

Markethill 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.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 Markethill usually justify replacement.
Q.Do you cover Tandragee for up-and-over work?
Yes, Tandragee is about 6 miles from Markethill and sits on the same install route.
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.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 Markethill openings.
Q.How long does the install take?
A straight swap is a half-day. Add a couple of hours where the subframe is being renewed or the opening needs making good.
