AlluGuard roller door, Glossop

AlluGuard roller door, Glossop

Recently installed for a customer in glossop. This is an Alluguard fully automatic roller door in a neutral brown colour. The garage is at the back of the house and had a manual door previously. Big thanks to the cat for moral support too. We love our furry friends here at Pennine.

We install lots of roller doors for our customers and we only provide quality products we trust for you. We see many inferior roller doors we are often asked to repair or service due to the installers not wanting to return to the job, these doors are a solid product and our aftersales is always here to help too, we follow up any issues our customers may have.

This door has many good features, such as being fully insulated and very secure. It has an in built safety system that will trigger if the door comes into contact with an obstacle on its way down too, the door will simply stop and reverse. AlluGuard doors come with two remotes as standard that are compact enough to go on a keyring. Operating the door with a press of a button is so much better than struggling with a manual door, trying to lock and unlock it in the rain will be a thing of the past.

If you keep your can in the garage it is also more secure than getting out of your vehicle to open the door. You can open the door while approaching and drive right in. The (neatly installed) control box that sits inside the garage also has a light that will stay on for a few minutes while the door is in use, it helps to give you some light in the garage. The door can also be operated by using the up/down buttons on the control box. The door also has a loud integral alarm that will only sound if the door is tampered with.

This installation didn’t really need any finishing trims to frame it etc, the existing cladding stayed and we fit the door behind the opening to give maximum width. You can see from many more of our recent work posts that we take pride in the overall finish of an installation and we always leave your property nice and tidy. All old materials are taken with us and recycled where we can.

AlluGuard roller door are available in a wide range of colours and wood grain finishes. You can see all the details in the brochure here.

AlluGuard roller door, Dukinfield, Tameside

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.

Carteck sectional door, Wilmslow

Carteck sectional garage door, Wilmslow

Installed this week for a customer at this nice house in Wilmslow. Chosen in a anthracite grey colour with a satin finish, this fully automatic door is a great finishing touch to this home.

Sectional type garage doors are one of the highest standards of door we install for customers. They consist of four horizontal panels that open directly upwards and into the gararge. This means there is no kick out like many up and over types of door.

We install all of our doors with care and attention to detail, whatever type of door you have. All our finishing touches and framing with uPVC trims or flatboard etc are done neatly with no mess left afterwards. We are always tidy and remove all materials from site too, which we recycle where possible. This door was chosen in a nice anthracite grey to match the front door. We framed it in white to give a nice contrast and fresh look.

Other main benefits of sectional garage doors are their security systems, which are highly secure and also that they are fully insulated panels with no gaps around. This creates a grear barrier and will keep your home warmer if attached to the garage or has rooms above. The door is fully automoatic and can be operated simply by using one of the two remotes supplies. Extras are available as well as internal remote push buttons for inside the house, for example.

The operator control box in the garage also has controls for the door and a handy light that will stay on for a short while to illuminate the garage for you while the door has been used. The door also importantly has an integral safety system that will trigger if the door comes into contact with an obstacle. If this happens, the door will stop and reverse.

You can read more about this garage door system in the brochure here or check out this demo video that shows how it all works.

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Stalybridge

January 28, 2026 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann Rollmatic-T and windows, Stalybridge

A recent installation for a customer in our local area of Stalybridge, where we have many happy customers. This is a fully automatic roller door supplied by our long time supplier Hörmann and fitted by ourselves.

Due to the nature of the high brickwork opening and the original door with the one big window above (see photo), we replicated it but with a solid double glazed unit. We work alongside trusted local companies for any windows or front doors required. We think you’ll agree this is quite a transformation and customers tell us that an automatic door is one of the best things they have bought for their home.

Most old garage doors become awkward to use and sometimes can become a danger too. We stress that people should NOT tamper with their own garage door springs or mechanisms, as this can cause serious injury if the correct procedures are not followed. This old door was safely removed first of all and the window too, then we could start prepping the opening for the new door to be fitted.

All timber frames are often removed, unless they are structural etc. Modern garage doors of all types come in their own frames, so its much easier to maintain too. No more painting! This new roller door is also much easier to open. No more faffing about with locks in the rain or hitting/kicking it in the right spot on an old door just to get it open 😉

There are many other benefits to this door too. It is fully insulated and doesn’t require gaps around it. Which is a huge improvement if the garage leads into the house or has rooms above. The door comes with two remotes as standard, optional internal buttons you can have in the home are available too. The door has a control box in the garage you can operate it with too and a light that comes on when the door is in use and stays on for a short time.

As you can see from our installations, we always take care and pride in our work and supply quality products. We want you to be happy with your new home improvement, we also take away any old materials and leave things nice and tidy.

Please contact us to arrange a free survey and quote and any advice you may need, we are happy to help you choosing the right door for you.

Hörmann sectional door, Ashton, Tameside

October 7, 2025 by Pennine Garage Doors

Hörmann sectional door, Ashton, Tameside

Here’s a closer look at a Hörmann sectional type garage door for a customer in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Tameside, chosen in a rosewood finish to match other features on the house.

Sectional garage doors are one of the most secure doors you can buy. These doors ooze quality and have many beneficial features. One of the main advantages is that this door is fully automated and can be operated by one of the two remotes provided. Extras such as internal wall buttons can also be used. Customers often tell us on return visits to service doors etc, that upgrading to an automatic door is one of the best changes to their home. We aren’t just saying this either, customers truly appreciate these fine doors. If you park your car in the garage, there is no need to get out in the rain, or risking leaving your engine running while you are not in the car.

The doors are also fully insulated (unlike inferior types of sectional doors) and don’t require gaps around the door, like many manual doors do. This is a great advantage for anyone whos garage leads into the house, or if there are rooms above the garage. You will feel a big difference in winter. Security is also a huge benefit with these doors. There is nothing to tamper with and we rate them as the most secure door we install.

The door itself consists of four, hinged panels that open up and into the garage on a track system. The operator is shown in a picture here. The Hörmann Promatic operator is used to lift single doors, the Supramatic can lift heavier double doors or single doors. The Supramatic latest version has the capability to operate the door from your phone too, or connected smart watch etc.

Sometimes after removing the old door and installation, we find brickwork might need covering up where the old frame was due to staining or a cavity etc. In these cases, we can neatly box the door in with matching uPVC which also gives the door a nice neat, framed look. As usual, all old materials are removed from site by us and your home left nice and tidy!

Any automatic door we install also feature safety systems. With a sectional door, if it comes into contact with an obstacle, the door will sense it and stop and reverse. A yearly service benefits these doors to stay looking and operating just like new.

If you’d like to see more on the Hörmann sectional door, you can view the brochure here. Available in a wide range of styles and colours to suit any home.
