Up-and-over garage doors in Newry
retail units around Newry were largely built with a single-skin steel canopy door and a timber subframe behind it.
Galvanised steel is the value option, GRP resists coastal salt better, and timber suits period Newry frontages.
Up-and-over doors are still the default on the older housing stock around Newry, and they are the leaf we replace most across BT34.

On the residential side, Newry is dominated by terraced housing and warehouses. It's why we measure on site rather than working from a Google Street View screenshot.

How we replace an up-and-over door in Newry
- 1
Check the gear type first
Canopy and retractable frames behave differently in a Newry 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 BT34.
- 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 Newry.

Newry up-and-over FAQ
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.Canopy or retractable, which suits a retail units?
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 Newry openings.
Q.How much drive space does an up-and-over door need in Newry?
The leaf swings out roughly a third of its height as it opens, so allow around 600 mm clear in front. On short Newry 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 Newry frontages, in white and woodgrain finishes.
Q.Do you cover Warrenpoint for up-and-over work?
Yes, Warrenpoint is about 6 miles from Newry and sits on the same install route.
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.
