What material is your garage door made of?
Empire Garage Doors can repair and maintain garage doors made from timber, steel , ABS, GRP fibreglass.
Timber Garage Door Maintenance
Typically, solid cedar and marine plywood are used for construction, sourced from environmentally friendly FSC certified materials.
To ensure the long life of your wooden garage door, regular maintenance is essential according to the manufacturer's guidelines. This includes applying a recommended preservative periodically to protect against decay and fading.
GRP Fibreglass Garage Door Repair
If you're looking for a low-maintenance option, Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) could be the perfect solution.
These garage doors combine strength and durability and are categorised as "maintenance-free." However, any blemishes can easily be cleaned with warm soapy water.
ABS Garage Door Issues
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic doors offer excellent impact resistance, are simple to maintain, and come with an extensive manufacturer’s warranty.
While minor damages can be cleaned and sanded down, more significant issues like cracks or breaks will require professional attention from a garage door repair service like Empire Garage Doors.
Steel Doors for Garages
A widely used cost-effective option, steel garage doors are galvanised to safeguard against the weather conditions, and they are available in a variety of finishes.
Plastisol Coating
A protective coating made of maintenance-free vinyl (Plastisol HP200) is applied to the exterior of the door.
This coating comes in various colours and can be finished with either a smooth or textured appearance, depending on the manufacturer. Plastisol coatings typically carry a guarantee period of 10 years.
Powder Coated
A dry powder coating made from polyester is applied to both surfaces of the garage door and then cured in an oven.
This process melts the powder, resulting in a durable and smooth finish. A wide variety of colours are available to complement your property.
Self-painted
Customers can choose to paint their steel garage door on their own post-installation.
If you opt for this route, it's advisable to sand down the surface, apply a fresh coat of primer, and then add multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant paint. For optimal longevity, we suggest having your garage entrance professionally finished.
Touch-up kits can be supplied at the time of purchase, but a full re-coating can be organised by Empire Garage Doors where necessary.

FAQs – Fixing Garage Doors
Most commonly asked questions regarding the repair and maintenance of garage doors.
There is nothing safe about DIY garage door repair. You can put yourself and others at risk if the door comes crashing down or a part malfunctions. Therefore, you should leave garage door repair to the experts.
NEVER attempt to adjust garage door springs yourself. These are under tension and need specialist equipment to make safe repairs.
The most common cause of an uneven garage door is worn out cables that sag, so checks to make sure your cables are still in good condition. If not, you may need to call a professional to replace them.
