Up-and-over questions from Richhill homeowners
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 Richhill usually justify replacement.
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.
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.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 Richhill?
The leaf swings out roughly a third of its height as it opens, so allow around 600 mm clear in front. On short Richhill drives we usually recommend a roller instead.
Q.Do you cover Markethill for up-and-over work?
Yes, Markethill is about 6 miles from Richhill and sits on the same install route.
