Our Garage Doors
Find the Right Garage Door for Your Property
Choosing a garage door isn’t just about how it looks. The size and layout of your garage, available headroom, driveway space, security requirements and how you use the garage can all influence which type of door is best suited to your property.
At Central Garage Doors, we have over 30 years of experience helping homeowners find the right solution. We supply a comprehensive range of garage doors in different styles, materials, colours and finishes, with options available for both manual and electric operation.
From traditional up and over and side hinged doors to space-saving sectional and roller garage doors, our experienced team can explain the differences, assess your garage and recommend a door that works for your property, requirements and budget.
Which Garage Door Is Right for You?
Up and Over Garage Doors
Simple, dependable and still one of the most popular choices for UK homes. Up and over garage doors are available in an extensive range of designs, materials, colours and finishes, making them suitable for almost any style of property.
With suitable canopy and retractable operating mechanisms available, they provide straightforward operation and can also be automated for greater everyday convenience.
Side Hinged Garage Doors
Side hinged garage doors open outwards like a traditional pair of doors, making them an excellent choice when your garage is regularly accessed on foot.
Opening just one side gives you quick access without exposing the entire garage, while the traditional design works particularly well for garages used for storage, workshops and other purposes beyond parking a vehicle.
Sectional Garage Doors
Smart, secure and extremely practical, sectional garage doors are constructed from individual horizontal panels that rise vertically before travelling back beneath the garage ceiling.
Because the door doesn’t swing outwards, you can park much closer to the garage entrance. Sectional doors are also available with excellent insulation, security and automation options, making them an increasingly popular choice for modern homes.
Roller Garage Doors
Roller garage doors rise vertically before forming a compact coil above the garage opening. With no door swinging out onto the driveway and minimal intrusion into the garage itself, they’re an excellent space-saving solution.
Their compact design makes roller doors particularly useful where driveway space or internal headroom needs to be maximised, with electric operation available for effortless everyday access.
Not Sure Which Garage Door to Choose?
That’s exactly where our experience comes in.
There’s no single garage door that’s right for every property. A roller door might be perfect where driveway space is tight, while a sectional door may be better if insulation and security are priorities. For another property, a straightforward up and over door could provide everything that’s needed at a more economical price.
Rather than pushing you towards one particular product, we’ll consider your garage, how you use it, the look you’re trying to achieve and your budget before explaining the most suitable options.
With our Bolton base and Kendal location, while continuing to serve our long-established customer base throughout Warrington, we provide garage door surveys, supply and professional installation across the wider North West.
FAQ’S
Garage Door FAQs
What are the main types of garage door?
The main styles we supply include up and over, sectional, roller, side hinged and timber garage doors. Each operates differently and has its own advantages depending on the property, available space and how the garage is used.
What is the best type of garage door?
There isn’t one type that’s best for every property. Sectional and roller doors are excellent space-saving options, side hinged doors provide convenient pedestrian access, while up and over doors remain a versatile and cost-effective choice. We can assess your requirements and recommend suitable options.
Which garage doors are best when driveway space is limited?
Sectional and roller garage doors are particularly well suited to shorter driveways because they open vertically rather than swinging outwards in front of the garage.
Can I have an electric garage door?
Yes. Many of the garage doors we supply can be electrically operated, and it is also possible to automate many suitable existing manual garage doors.
Can you replace my existing garage door?
Yes. We can remove and replace existing garage doors with a new door suited to the opening and your requirements. Our team can carry out a site survey and discuss the different styles available.

Reviews
Trusted for Quality Garage Doors and Reliable Service

Overall, the service was excellent from start to finish. The installation team did a brilliant job, and the finished door looks superb. Given the slope on our drive, we’d been told by other companies that a side‑hinged door wasn’t possible, but Central Garage Doors proved otherwise and explained our options. I had a few more questions before ordering and Gemma in the office answered these quickly. Their knowledge, communication, and workmanship were outstanding. We are really pleased with the finished result and we would highly recommend.

We've used central garage doors on a number of occasions over the last 30 years and the service received has been exceptional. The sales staff and the fitters are courteous and professional at all times and make the experience hassle free and the products they offer are the best on the market. I would recommend Central Garage Doors services and products to anyone looking to have a new garage door supplied and fitted, without reservation. Totally hassle free.

Organised an upgrade from a manual up and over to an electric door, everything went smoothly, communication with the office was excellent and workman arrived on time and completed the job without fuss and showed me how it worked. Very pleased with the door and how Central Garage Doors took care of everything.
Brilliant company. Quick assessment and measurements. Easy to understand extras offered. Delivered and installed within estimated time frame. The two installers were excellent,friendly,professional and expert cleaners. Everything was explained and all was left clean and tidy. Office staff were caring and knowledgeable. Would recommend this company every time
Excellent service if I could give 6 stars I would. Family run business that run like clockwork from start to finish with great connection throughout. We had a 10 foot sectional garage door fitted which was not a straightforward job as we need the gap widening. Paul sorted the job out with no problems, nothing was too much trouble. The new door looks great, it is so quiet compared to the old one and all at a very competitive price. Lovely honest working family Thanks you so much
Central Garage Doors installed my Garador opener more than 20 years ago, and when it failed to open last week I was so pleased to find that they are still there and were able to send an engineer out to have a look at a time that suited me. He came on time, fixed the problem and talked me through operating the new motor he had installed. CGD is a well run business with reasonable prices and I can highly recommend them.
Great job. We were not able to be there on the day but we know he arrived on time as promised. Very satisfied with the workmanship. Everywhere was left clean and tidy. Very happy with the results. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.
What a joy to have such excellent customer service - From start to finish very smooth! Added bonus to be greeted by the engineer/owner with a smile and no nonsense approach to getting the job completed, would highly recommend to anyone.
A really great experience from this company. Efficient, professional and polite and a top notch product too. Would whole heartedly recommend.
Fantastic experience working with the team from Central Garage Doors. Emails and enquiries were dealt with politely and efficiently. When Stuart came he quickly identified the issue and, even though the mechanism was quite old, he managed to sort out 90% of the problem on the first visit. He finish the job a couple of days later once the correct parts had been sourced. Highly recommended.
We are absolutely delighted with our new roller shutter garage door from Central Garage Doors. Paul came out to quote and offered clear, honest advice to help us choose the best option for our needs and budget. Gemma and Katie in the office were friendly and efficient throughout. The door looks fantastic, operates smoothly, and has excellent safety features. The installers were professional, tidy, and explained everything clearly. First-class service from start to finish — highly recommended.
