Professionally Installed Up and Over Garage Doors in Eastbourne

Call us today: 08000 121 007

Up and over garage doors are a popular choice among Eastbourne homeowners. This style, which involves the door lifting straight up and pivoting at the top, is commonly seen in garages. One convenient feature of these doors is the central handle for easy operation.

Our doors are available in three different materials: steel, timber, and GRP. Once installed, they provide a wider opening for convenient vehicle entry, thanks to their close alignment with the frame when opened. Our up and over garage doors also boast up to four latches, offering increased security.

For enhanced security of your garage, make sure to include a de-latching system when installing an automatic up-and-over garage door. Reach out to our team in Eastbourne at 01323 729230 for professional assistance with your garage door installation.

Up & Over Garage Door

Types of Up and Over Garage Doors We do:

Canopy Garage Doors

This type of garage door in question opens outwards and then pivots and tilts upwards into the roof space. It does not extend as far as a retractable door, occupying less space inside your garage while still allowing one-third of the door to remain outside. To enhance security, pivot points are strategically placed two-thirds down the door. Furthermore, pre-framed options are available.

Installing canopy doors is a simple process as the entire structure attaches directly to the frame, removing the need for garage tracks. However, it is generally not recommended to automate canopy doors.

Retractable Garage Doors 

If you'd rather not have a third of the garage door sticking out while it's open, our fully retractable up and over mechanism might be a better option for you. With this design, the door swings out further as it opens but then smoothly slides into the top portion of your garage.

The process of installing these doors is fairly simple. Spring assemblies are first secured to the side frames, while tracks are placed at the top to support the upper part of the door. The top track should be fastened a few meters inside your garage. When it comes to automation, retractable garage doors are ideal as they can be easily operated with any electric opener.

Materials Used for Up and Over Garage Doors

Customers in Eastbourne have the choice of timber, steel, or GRP fibreglass when it comes to their up and over garage doors, including both of our popular canopy and retractable options. 

Timber Up and Over Garage Doors 

Enhance the refined charm of your up and over garage door with the timeless beauty of genuine wood. Our doors are crafted from solid cedar or marine plywood, responsibly sourced from FSC certified suppliers. Be sure to carefully adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for preserving and caring for your timber door over time.

There are two options for staining your wood. You can either choose a factory pre-stained version or opt for an unstained one to match the other wooden elements in your property.

GRP Fibreglass Up and Over Garage Doors 

For a low-maintenance timber up-and-over door, consider choosing Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP). It offers all the benefits of wood without the added maintenance.

Durable and resilient, these doors are available in a range of sleek or wood-inspired styles, with a wide selection of colours to fully match your property.

Steel Up & Over Doors 

The more affordable choice of many, steel up and over garage doors are galvanised to protect against harsh weather conditions. 

After being evenly sprayed onto both sides of the garage door, a polyester powder coating is dried in an oven. The heating procedure causes the powder to melt and form a durable, sleek surface. This wide range of colour options makes it easy to find the perfect match for your property.

FAQs – Up & Over Garage Doors

Some frequently asked questions about Up-&-Over Garage Doors in Eastbourne: 

To open the canopy-style garage door, simply unlock and lift it up. The door will then roll up vertically and be stored horizontally, leaving one-third of its length protruding from the exterior of the garage.

Typically, a single-panel garage door does not require a significant amount of headroom - usually only 2-3 inches (50-75mm) is necessary.

The cost of installing new up & over garage doors is determined by various factors:

  • The size of garage opening 
  • The age of the garage structure 
  • Additional door features required 
  • How easy the location is to access 
  • The condition of the current garage 
  • Many other factors….

To effectively decide the cost, we recommend scheduling a free survey of your Eastbourne property with Empire Garage Doors. This will allow us to provide you with a precise and tailored price quote.

Installing a garage defender is the optimal solution for increasing security on up and over garage doors. With the defender anchored to the ground, it prevents the door from swinging outward, ensuring that even if your locks are compromised, the door cannot be opened.

Up and over garage doors are seen as the most effortless style of garage door to automate, as well as the most practical option. The process entails the installation of a boom above the structural opening and an electrical motor at the opposite end.

This type of garage door operates with a spring mechanism located at the top, lifting the side panel and creating a canopy when fully open. It is typically used as a single-width, one-piece up and over door.
