Choosing a new garage door is about more than how it looks. The right door needs to suit your home, fit the space available, provide the level of security and insulation you need, and be convenient to use every day.
Eastern Garage Doors can help you choose from a wide range of garage doors, including made-to-measure options. You can select the colour, style, finish, material and operation that best suit your home and requirements.
Up-and-over garage doors use a single rigid panel that tilts outward and upwards, sliding under the garage ceiling. They can be a practical choice if you want a traditional garage-door appearance.
Roller garage doors use horizontal aluminium slats that coil into a compact box above the opening, leaving the ceilings and side walls clear. Convenient powered operation allows you to open and close the door easily.
Sectional garage doors open vertically in horizontal panels that curve back along the ceiling. They are particularly suitable where driveway space is limited and insulation is important.
Side-hinged garage doors open outward on hinges as two leaves, enabling pedestrian access and space for the whole garage to be used.
Side-sliding garage doors, sometimes called round-the-corner doors, use vertical panels that travel along a track along the side wall, maximising headroom.

Choosing a garage door should feel like a relaxed, friendly chat. Our local engineers take the time to understand your home, your tastes and your budget, then give honest, practical advice with no hard selling. Whether you want an automatic or manual door, we’re here to help.
When we fit your garage door, we want you to feel completely at ease. That’s why every installation comes with a 5‑year workmanship guarantee – a little extra reassurance that your door’s been fitted properly and built to last.
We only fit garage doors that meet our strict standards for durability, safety and long-term performance. If a door doesn’t pass our checks, we don’t install it.
Garage door projects range from simple like-for-like replacements to complex structural work, and two recent jobs show both ends of that scale.
In Huntingdon, a homeowner wanted a classic look for their twin garage. Our surveyor measured the openings and talked through the options, including electric operation and colour upgrades. The customer chose two manually operated up and over doors in white powder-coated Georgian panelling to replace their old canopy doors. The doors comply with BS EN 13241, with a multiple spring system that continues to support the door’s weight if one spring breaks.
Another Cambridgeshire project was more involved. The customer wanted to replace two separate openings with a single, wider automatic sectional door so they could park and manoeuvre two high-end cars safely. That meant a new lintel as well as the door, and the customer had struggled to coordinate the trades required. We took responsibility for the complete job and finished it within a day. The customer described the experience as stress-free and said the result exceeded their expectations.

We fit garage doors from leading manufacturers chosen for their strength, security and lasting good looks.
A single 7ft (2.13m) width x 7ft (2.13m) high door fits an opening one car wide; a double garage door 16ft (4.87m) wide x 7ft (2.13m) high fits two cars side by side. See our guide to garage door sizes for further details.
The best garage door is therefore not necessarily the cheapest or most heavily insulated model. It is the one whose mechanism, construction and installation fit the physical constraints of the garage and the way your household uses it. We will advise and guide you on the best solutions.
Our installation work often involves much more than simply removing an old door and fitting a new one. The condition and size of the opening, the available space, how the garage is used, and how it fits with the overall look of the home can all influence a solution.
A customer in Cambridgeshire gave us a challenge to personalise their double aspect garage with an elegant contemporary garage door design. Our task was to deliver a stylish, durable, well‑insulated solution that matched the home’s exterior while ensuring light could filter into the garage and maintain privacy. A sectional panel design was selected with opaque double‑pane polymer windows. The clean lines and symmetrical panel design mirrored the contemporary architecture of the house.
Another installation in South Norfolk involved a customer who needed enough space for both a large sports SUV and a sports convertible. The original entrance was positioned behind the brickwork, while an oak pillar restricted manoeuvrability. We repositioned the entrance 20cm forward and installed a double sectional garage door. The oak post was removed and supported with a C-shaped steel RSJ. These changes created enough space for both vehicles and made the internal EV charging point easier to access.
These projects illustrate why the right garage door cannot always be chosen from a product specification alone. The opening, available space, structure and way you use the garage can be just as important as the door itself.
The material you choose affects the appearance, durability and maintenance requirements of your garage door. Different materials suit different properties and priorities, so it’s worth considering how the door will look alongside your home as well as how you want it to perform.
Steel offers a practical combination of strength, durability and security. It is available in a wide range of styles and finishes, making it suitable for both traditional and contemporary properties.
Aluminium is lightweight and well suited to modern garage-door designs. It can provide a clean, contemporary appearance and is particularly useful where the design calls for larger or more modern openings.
Timber can provide a natural appearance that works particularly well with traditional properties and homes where the garage door needs to complement existing timber features. Timber garage doors do require appropriate care and maintenance to keep it looking its best.
GRP, or glass-reinforced plastic, provides another option for homeowners looking for a particular appearance or combination of performance characteristics. The suitability of GRP depends on the door design and the requirements of the installation.

It depends on the garage. Sectional doors offer strong insulation and security. Roller doors suit short driveways and keep the ceiling clear. Up and over garage doors cost the least. Side hinged doors suit garages you walk in and out of often.
Yes. We remove the old door and take it away unless you ask us to leave it.
In our experience, a premium sectional door lasts about 35 years and a Hörmann RollMatic roller door about 25 years. Other premium roller doors last about 10 years. We do not fit budget roller doors, which typically last 1 to 3 years.
Usually, yes. Most existing garage doors can be converted to automatic operation. Even up and overs can if they are a retractable model. Send us the make of your door or book a free survey and we will confirm.
Our garage doors are supplied and fitted as a complete unit – door and frame together. There are good reasons for this. The frame carries the door’s weight and, on many designs, the spring assembly too. An older frame may look sound but have hidden rot, corrosion at the base of the uprights, or fixings that have loosened in the surrounding brickwork. The frame is a modest part of the overall cost, and because we’re removing the old door anyway, fitting a new frame at the same time adds little to the installation. You get a door that operates smoothly from day one and continues to do so.
Depends heavily on what’s behind the door. The case is weak when the garage is detached, unheated, and used for storage or parking. You’re insulating a space you don’t need to keep warm. The case is strong when: The garage is integral or attached, with a heated room above or beside it. Here the door is part of the thermal envelope. Furthermore, if you are using the garage as a workshop, gym, home office, or for band practice, an insulated garage door makes the space fully usable year‑round rather than just slightly warmer.
