Brighton's Top Up And Over Garage Doors
Brighton homeowners often opt for up and over garage doors. This style, characterised by its upward motion and pivot at the top, is a common sight in garages. A particularly useful aspect of these doors is the central handle, making operation a breeze.
We offer our doors in three diverse materials: steel, timber, and GRP. Upon installation, they grant a broader opening for easy vehicle access, thanks to their snug fit with the frame when opened. Our up and over garage doors also feature a maximum of four latches, providing heightened security.
To maximise the security of your garage, remember to include a de-latching system when setting up an automatic up-and-over garage door. Our team in Brighton at 01273 799296 is ready to provide expert help with your installation needs.
Offering Various Types of Up and Over Garage Doors:
Canopy Garage Doors
This particular garage door being discussed opens outward and then pivots upward into the roof area. Unlike a retractable door, it takes up less room in the garage but still leaves one-third of the door outside. For added security, there are pivot points located two-thirds down the door. Additionally, pre-framed choices are offered.
Installing these doors is a straightforward process. Begin by securing spring assemblies to the side frames, and then position tracks at the top to support the upper part of the door. Ensure that the top track is fastened a few meters inside your garage. For convenient automation, retractable garage doors are an excellent option as they can be effortlessly operated with any electric opener.
Retractable Garage Doors
For those who prefer a smoother look when the garage door is open, our fully retractable up and over mechanism may be a suitable alternative. This design allows the door to swing out further upon opening, before neatly sliding into the upper section of your garage.

Materials Used for Up and Over Garage Doors
In Brighton, our customers can select from a range of materials for their up and over garage doors, such as timber, steel, or GRP fibreglass. We offer both canopy and retractable options, both of which are popular among our clients.
Timber Up and Over Garage Doors
Add a touch of class to your up and over garage door by incorporating the classic elegance of real wood. Our doors are made from premium materials such as solid cedar or marine plywood, sourced in an environmentally-conscious manner from FSC approved vendors. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for maintaining and safeguarding your wooden door for years to come.
When it comes to staining your wood, you have two choices. You can either go for a pre-stained option from the factory or select an unstained one that complements the other wooden elements on your property.
GRP Fibreglass Up and Over Garage Doors
If you're in the market for a timber up-and-over door, Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) is worth considering. It boasts all the advantages of wood without any extra maintenance.
With a variety of sleek or wood-inspired styles and an extensive colour palette, these doors possess both durability and resilience, making them the perfect fit for any property.
Steel Up & Over Doors
Galvanised to withstand harsh weather conditions, steel up and over garage doors are a popular and cost-effective option for many.
Following the application of an even coat on both sides of the garage door, a polyester powder coating is then heated in an oven. This heating process results in a fused and resilient finish. With a wide choice of available colours, finding the ideal match for your property is effortless.
