AlluGuard roller door. Dukinfield, Tameside

Recently installed for a customer in one of our local areas of Dukinfield. Chosen in a grey colour to suit other features on the house. The door is fully automatic, which means no more heaving an awkward manual door for this customer! 🙂

We offer a range of choices in types of garage doors but we find automatic roller doors are popular with our customers. They are simple to use, fully insulated and save on space with no parts swinging inwards to the garage. Each door is made to measure, which means we can help keeping maximum drive through width on your garage as wide as possible. We often get asked this due to cars being wider now and people wanting to put their cars into their garage.

With older doors, timber frames and door arms etc would often reduce the opening width of the garage. We can often help with this where we can by fitting the door in a way that keeps the opening as wide as possible. This door was installed behind the brickwork, so the frame is actually hidden and you get full drive through width. Any mess from the old door on the brickwork can be neatly clad with uPCV as we did here. This creates a nice framed look to the installation.

We’ve installed thousands of doors and always want our customers to be happy with the product and the quality of the installation. All the old materials are removed from site and recycled where possible. Jobs are left clean and tidy, we want you to enjoy your new door and not have to tidy up afterwards. It’s something we have always prided ourselves on.

AlluGuard roller doors have many benefits and are a great improvement to your home, especially if you are struggling with an old door. Simply pressing a button on a remote control is also much safer, as you don’t have to get out of your car if putting it in the garage. The doors are insulated and seal to the floor nicely, if the flood is uneven, we can fit an aluminium threshold or rubber weather stop to the floor for the door to sit on. Also featured is a safety system that will kick in if the door comes into contact with an obstacle.

Available in many colours or wood grain effects, if you would like more information on AlluGuard roller doors, you can view the brochure here.

Hörmann roller doors, Dukinfield

Hörmann roller doors, Dukinfield

Recently installed for a customer in Dukinfield, this pair of fully automatic Hörmann RollMatic-T roller doors was a huge transformation and upgrade to the old manual doors that had served their time and become awkward to use.

There are so many benefits with upgrading to an automatic door and Hörmann roller doors are of high quality, unlike some of the more flimsy, cheap roller doors out there. These doors are fully insulted and don’t require gaps around the door like manual doors do. If the garage is attached to the house or has rooms above, the insulation helps hugely to keep things warmer and the weather out.

It is also much easier and safer to drive up to your garage and just press a button on one of the two remotes provided, rather than getting out of the car to struggle unlocking and opening your garage door in bad weather for example. Each door also has its own internal control box in the garage that has a light on it. The light will come on when the door is in use and stay on for a few minutes to help illuminate the garage.

Other features include a safety system that will trigger if the door touches an object while closing. The door will stop and reverse. There is also a sturdy rubber seal on the bottom of the door that closes nicely on the floor. If floors are not level, we can install an alluminiam threshold nice and level and cemented to the floor, that the door closes on.

As you can see by the picture that shows the old white door next to the new one. We start by removing the door and its timber frame, there is no need for timber frames as these doors have their own sturdy alluminium or steel frames. This helps gives more width on the garage opening, which many customers want due to cars being wider. Where the old frames were, we neatly trim in uPVC to give the door a neat framed look.

There is also a new strap system (as shown in pic) that helps to keep the door in good condition while it rolls up on itself. We offer an affordable annual service on our doors to help maintain them and keep them like new. This includes fixing checks, safety checks, new batteries where required and a good clean of the door.

This customer also left a nice review on our review section. They kindly said “From quote to installation, excellent service and attention to detail. I used them from a recommendation and so glad I chose them. True professionals. Would highly recommend”

It’s always nice to get pleasant feedback. We have always prided ourselves on supplying customers with good quality products and installations, plus leaving our jobs neat and tidy.

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Dukinfield

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Dukinfield

A recent installation of a fully automatic roller door for a customer in Dukinfield, Tameside. Made by Hörmann and chosen in an anthracite grey colour to contrast features on the house and its made a great transformation.

You can see from the previous white garage door in the picture that it was manually operated. Some older doors become awkward to use and our customers who upgrade to automatic garage doors often tell us it’s one of the better things they have spent money on their homes.

Hörmann Rollmatic T doors have many great features including being fully insulated and very secure. The doors are operated by simply pressing a button on one of the two remotes that come supplied, or you can use the buttons on the internal control box to operate the door. The control box also has an internal light that will come on when the door is in use and stay on for a few minutes to help illuminate the garage.

When installing your new garage door, we take great care that everything is nice and level etc. We remove all materials from site and leave your home nice and tidy. After installing this door, we neatly framed the door with matching uPCV trims and sealed up with matching sealants.

Another important feature of any automatic door is that it has a safety system that will not allow the door to crush anything. If the door meets an obstacle while closing, it will stop and reverse safely.

Available in a wide range of colours, these doors look great on any home and are all made to measure in single or double sizes.

Hörmann sectional door, Dukinfield

February 6, 2025 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann automatic sectional door, Dukinfield

Recently installed for a customer in Dukinfield, a top of the range, fully automatic sectional door, chosen in a cream colour to contrast the rosewood uPVC on the house.

Sectional doors comprise of four horizontal panels that are hinged and go up and back into the garage on a track system. They are one of the best garage doors on the market due to their robust security and other features such as being insulated and fully automatic. This door replaced an old manual door and the customer can now enjoy not having to struggle manually opening the old door or fiddling with locks in the rain etc.

If you park your car in your garage, it is also a good security measure, as you do not need to get out of your car to open your door, it is so much safer and easier just pressing a button on one of the fobs provided and driving straight in. The door has many other neat features such as a safety system that will not allow the door to crush anything. If the door comes into contact with an obstacle, it will stop and reverse. The operator also has a handy internal light that will come on when the door is operated and stay on for a few minutes to give some light.

With the door operation going straight up and into the garage, this means there is no kick-out of the door. Meaning a vehicle can be parked close to it if needed. This installation was finished off with our usual care and attention to detail. Finished off neatly in matching uPVC that finishes the job off nicely. All old materials are removed from site and we take pride in leaving your home nice and tidy.

Hörmann horizontal rib door, Dukinfield

August 14, 2022 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann horizontal style door, Dukinfield

A recent installation of our team at Pennine Garage doors for a customer in our local area of Dukinfield, Tameside. This job was quite a transformation to this garage, as well as replacing the old door, we also gave the garage a nice clean, new look.

As you can see from the picture, the old door had become quite old and was damaged too. First of all we removed the old door and a timber leg that needed replacing. Due to it being a concrete panel garage, timber legs are needed to help fit the door to. We will always replace rotting timbers if possible and where needed to safely fit the door to.

Once we had a solid frame fixed, we could then lift the door into place and make sure it is a level and central as possible. While we are fitting the door, we are also then looking at installing the new uPVC surrounding the door. We always take care that our finishing touches are neat and as you can see, it has made a nice transformation to the front of this garage.

The new door is a Hörmann horizontal rib style. It is a manual (canopy) garage door that is very easy to operate. The door comes in its own steel frame and features a secure multi point locking system. The finish on the doors is very durable and high quality too. Hörmann are a leader in garage doors and this type of garage door is available in a wide range of colours and style to suit any home.
