Hörmann Rollmatic T, Stalybridge

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.

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

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 Rollmatic T, Stalybridge

Hörmann Rollmatic T, Stalybridgem Tameside

Recently installed on a chilly day for a customer in our local area of Stalybridge. The job was to replace two manual doors with something modern and easy to use. Simply pressing a button is now a lot easier for this customer. No more heaving a heavy door up and down or fiddling with keys in the rain.

The doors chosen are made by Hörmann and known as the Rollmatic T garage door. The doors are fully automatic and have other great benefits too such as being fully insulated, which will make a difference on a house like this where the garage is part of the house. You get two remotes as standard with each door. If you have two garage door such as this customer, we can code the remotes in so that each remote can open each door. The remotes have more than one button for this purpose. Each door also has an internal control box that can be used to operate the door, the box also has a handy light that comes on when the door is in use and stays on for a few minutes to give some light to the garage.

As usual with our installations, we carefully remove the old doors and timber frames etc. Most new types of garage doors we install come in their own frames, meaning there is no wood to keep painting etc. After removing the old doors, we can clean up the openings of any sealants or paint from the previous doors and start installing the new door frames first, then adding the curtains etc. Installations are finished off neatly on the outside with matching uPVC trims and fascias. All the old materials and doors are removed from site and recycled where possible.

Hörmann Rollmatic T garage doors are also very secure and feature a safety system that will not allow the door to crush anything, if the door comes into contact with an object, it will stop and reverse. Ourselves and manufacturers advise a yearly service on automatic doors to check such systems and give the door a thorough inspection and clean etc.

Hörman Rollmatic T, Stalybridge

Hörman Rollmatic T roller door, Stalybridge

A lovely “Chartwell green” coloured, fully automatic roller door fitted with our usual care and attention for a customer in Stalybridge. The door is made by Hörman and is known as the Rollmatic T.

We are finding our customers are really liking their roller doors we install for them. We get lots of feedback due to many having doors serviced and cleaned yearly which keeps them like new. From heat retention in the house or simple ease of use, we are always happy to hear the people are pleased. The doors are fully insulated and fully automated. You get two remote controls with the door and operating the door is as simple as pushing a button. We can also supply Hörman remote control wall buttons for the inside of your house which customers find handy too.

This door was fitted onto a tough aluminium floor threshold due to the floor being slightly out of level, which is often the case. Garage doors should be fitted level, so this solution is great in these situations or if there is a difference in the internal and external floor levels. The door has a sturdy rubber seal at the bottom that creates a nice seal with the threshold. We point the difference in with a tought mix of cement as you can see in the photos.

The door also features an internal control box with buttons to operate the door and a handy internal light that will come on when the door is in use and stay on for a couple of minutes to provide some light. All of our automated doors feature safety systems that will not allow the door to crush anything. If the door touches an obstacle it will stop and reverse.

After our careful installation of the door, we used white uPVC to encase and frame it nicely giving a contrast. Then sealed everything in matching sealants. Your old door and materials are removed from site and recycled. We also leave your home nice and tidy. We are a family business and have kept our good reputation over the years by these simple gestures.

Hörman roller doors come in a wide range of colours to suit any home. If you would like more information, you can view the brochure here.

Please feel free to contact us to arrange a free survey and quote, we are always happy to help you choosing your ideal door too.
