JACQUI Worsdell
Great experience always worried about spending money and not getting what I expected. However this was excellent from site review by William and installation by Dave and Simon. I was kept well informed, installation was clean and tidy with great workmanship and great looking door, and works just as I expected. Thank you More...
Colin
My service request was promptly dealt with, but the date was dependent on the availability of parts which might have been required. In the event, no parts were required and it seemed that my problem was caused by all the plastic clips on the drive shaft being open - their spring-loaded hinges having stuck in the open state, and the door travel limit switches having somehow lost their settings. Resetting the limit switches and lubricating the clip hinges fixed the problem. The work was completed within the first hour of the call-out and no parts were needed. I'm a happy customer. More...

I highly recommend GDA for replacement garage doors. They were so professional, did a fantastic job. The door looks amazing.
Sometimes it’s the finishing touches that complete the look and they did everything.
The GDA team made sure to finish it off just as nicely on the inside as on the outside.
Perfect job, 5 star recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Professional and courteous from the outset! Very happy with the result. Will and Dave arrived on time, completed the work within the timeframe quoted. Automated garage door is now 'silent running' and they tidied up afterwards, taking the old broken mechanism with them. I would highly recommend. More...

I’m disabled and needed help lifting the garage door to get my scooter out. These guys didn’t miss a beat excellent communication.
Very efficient installation and a terrific product. The bonus was that because I’m registered disabled the installation of the motor was VAT free.
I’d recommend this company to anyone they’re terrific!!

I am a very satisfied customer.
Sylvia Waghorn
Garage Door Installation
Will was very helpful when he came to quote for the job, and gave me a reasonable quote for what was potentially a tricky job on my 50 year old garage. The estimated 4 weeks lead time was optimistic, and it was nearer to 8 weeks to installation. However, the company kept in touch, and Will and Simon did an excellent job yesterday. They were tidy, efficient and personable, and the old garage door is awaiting collection, testimony to a much improved frontage. Thank you, all More...
