Up and Over Garage Doors.
Up and over garage doors are single-panel doors that tilt up and slide horizontally into the garage roof on a counterbalanced mechanism. They are mechanically simple, cost effective, and the most familiar UK garage door style. Best for traditional homes and longer driveways. Wolverine fits Garador and Hörmann up and overs in steel, timber and GRP across the Thames Valley.

FAQ
Common questions about up and over garage doors.
- Can you automate my existing door?
- It depends on your door type. We can automate existing up-and-over doors by fitting an electric operator. For sectional and roller doors we can replace or upgrade the motor operator. Side-hinged doors cannot be automated, the mechanism does not support electric operation. Call us and we will confirm what is possible for your specific door.
- Do you install front doors too?
- Yes, Comp Door composite front doors and Ryterna aluminium front doors. Many customers match a new front door to a new garage door.
- Do you offer finance?
- Yes, through Ideal4Finance. Typical plans are 0% over 12 months on installs over £2,000.
- Do you remove the old door?
- Yes, every quote includes removal and ethical disposal of your existing door. We recycle the steel and aluminium where possible.
- How long does a typical garage door installation take?
- A standard replacement (sectional or up-and-over) takes around 4-6 hours on a single visit. Roller doors with full automation can be 6-8 hours. Side-hinged with frame replacement is usually a full day.
- What if my door breaks outside working hours?
- Call the main line and leave a message with 'urgent'. For total failures we aim to attend same-day or next-morning.
