Are you in need of a garage door replacement? It doesn't have to be a stressful process! At Freelance Entry Solutions, we provide a range of high-quality garage doors to suit every space and are also installation experts. In some situations, such as a straightforward garage door swap, we can finish the job in a few hours, in other situations, it may take longer. To give you a comprehensive overview, we will run through the basics of garage door installation and why it's essential to get it right. 

 

Why We Are Trusted Garage Door Installers 

We are local garage door installers who understand the whole process and can assist you from selection to installation. We work with trusted garage door companies such as Hormann, Garador, SWS Seceuroglide, Teckentrup, and Silvelox, all of which produce safe, reputable garage doors.

When it comes to installation, we cover locations in the central south of the UK, including Wiltshire, Dorset, Berkshire, Somerset and the Isle of Wight. So you can visit our showroom or place an order and count on us to ensure that it's appropriately installed. 

Quality Installation Matters 

When it comes to home improvements and installation services, sometimes customers overlook the importance of quality. But the truth is that quality work is just as important as the product. Even if you invest in a cutting-edge garage door but fail to have it installed correctly, it won't function as it should, leading to ongoing issues. 

Installation can vary from home to home, but in general, it takes a day and requires two experienced fitters on site. Simple jobs can be completed in an average of four to six hours, whereas complex jobs may take up to two days. If you come across an installation service that claims to do it much faster, beware! They might not be completely honest about the process. 

How Long Installation Takes 

When fitting a new garage door with optimum conditions such as a square opening and no additional work needed, it can be as fast as a few hours, which is perfect for minimal delays to day-to-day life.

However, garage openings are rarely perfectly square and level, so there are often adjustments that need making to align with the manufacturer's specifications. Ensuring that wiring and accessories are appropriately fitted can also take additional time when it comes to the finishings. 

We Care About Customer Service  

We have in-house installation experts who have completed countless jobs, and we don't offer them incentives based on the quantity. We believe that quality and integrity are important, so it's better to get the job done correctly than quickly and haphazardly. If our team needs to return to finish the job, we will stay on-site for as long as it takes. Unlike some companies that pay installation teams based on the number of doors they fit daily, which sometimes means that jobs aren’t completed well. 

It's best to double-check any quotations and have a thorough understanding of the work that's being proposed. This is the best way to ensure you're getting a great installation service rather than a fast but unprofessional one. Some installers will cut corners, such as leaving old timber frames in place because it's quicker, but these kinds of solutions are rarely professional. It’s also worth keeping in mind that good installation and a new garage door can potentially increase your house value. 

Don't Cut Corners on Installation 

A top-of-the-range garage door installed poorly will not likely be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, which could be costly in case a problem arises. That's why it's best to look for a reputable dealer with whom the manufacturer approves and works directly with. This is also why we specialise in various garage door brands and models: we try to find the best solution for each customer's needs rather than convince them to buy a specific model even if it's not the best option.
