Survey, subframe, leaf, balance

Check the gear type first
Canopy and retractable frames behave differently in a Rostrevor 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.

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.

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