Freelance Entry Solutions took up the project for Mr Harrington to remove a centre pillar and install a new gable above the garage doors for a fresh look. We also supplied and fitted brand new garage doors to complete the transformation. 

 

Brief

Mr Harrington was simply looking to have the centre brick pillar removed and one large door fitted to maximise usable garage space. Once he realised we would be able to take care of the project from start to finish we were invited to the site and discussed the options. It quickly became apparent the single brick gable resting directly on the concrete lintels was going to need a little thought.

Solution

After proposing a few solutions the customer decided to go with the option for us to completely remove the brickwork gable, replacing it with a new timber frame structure and finishing with a uPVC cladding. The sectional garage door is always a great solution for such wide openings due to the strength of double-walled steel panels which sandwich a rigid foam core. Once the customer was aware that the sectional door was in fact a similar cost to a basic up and over garage door, the decision was easy.

Such large doors require a level of effort to use manually, so a remote electric operator was added for ease and convenience.

All in all a satisfying little project with everyone very pleased with the end result.
