Over a year ago Gordon and his team at AES did an excellent job of fitting our driveway and pedestrian gates. So when our garage door failed and we wished to replace it as part of a bigger project. Getting Gordon back to fit the garage door was an obvious choice and again AES did an excellent job.

A strong steel goalpost frame is available, allowing replacement of older wooden frames with a more durable and secure alternative.

For enhanced security, all doors include twin shoot bolt locking systems and are supplied with a 10-year manufacturer warranty for added peace of mind.

Each door is constructed using high-quality timber panels set within a strong steel chassis for durability and long-term stability. A steel goalpost frame option is also available, allowing replacement of older wooden frames with a more secure and low-maintenance solution.
Timber up & over garage doors remain a popular choice for traditional properties where appearance and craftsmanship are important.
Insulated Sectional Garage Doors: Features & Benefits
Sectional garage doors are made up of individual panels connected by hinges, allowing the door to open vertically into the garage without any outward swing. This provides up to three feet of additional driveway space compared to traditional up & over doors.
Their vertical opening system makes them ideal for properties where space is limited, while also offering a modern, clean appearance with a wide range of design options.
Built-in insulation provides both thermal and acoustic benefits, helping to improve energy efficiency, reduce heat loss and minimise external noise.
Doors are available with manual operation or can be upgraded to automation systems, offering remote-control convenience with smooth and reliable operation.
Insulated sectional garage doors are one of the most popular modern choices for residential properties due to their space-saving design and energy efficiency.
Insulated Side Sectional Doors: Features & Benefits
Side sectional garage doors open horizontally, allowing partial or full access depending on your requirements. This makes them a practical option for situations where only pedestrian access is needed or where full opening is not always required.
Available in a range of styles and selected RAL colours, with optional glazing designs, they can be tailored to suit both modern and traditional properties.
These doors are highly adaptable and suitable for a wide variety of garage layouts and construction types, with options available for openings up to 6 metres wide.
For added convenience, side sectional doors can be fitted with electric automation systems, allowing smooth operation via wall-mounted controls or remote access depending on the specification.
Insulated Roller Garage Door: Features & Benefits
Insulated roller garage doors are designed to maximise both internal garage space and external driveway usability. The curtain-style design rolls neatly into a compact housing above the opening, allowing full use of the garage entrance without obstruction.
They provide excellent drive-through clearance, making them suitable for larger vehicles such as SUVs, 4x4s and people carriers.
Depending on installation requirements, the door can be fitted either within the garage opening or behind it, allowing for a full brick-to-brick width where required.
Unlike traditional up & over doors, roller garage doors do not swing outwards, allowing vehicles to be parked directly outside the garage without restricting operation.
Many models also include insulated slats, helping to improve thermal efficiency, reduce heat loss and minimise external noise.
Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Doors
1. What type of garage door is best for my property?
The best garage door depends on your available space, budget, insulation requirements, security needs and preferred appearance. Up & over garage doors remain a popular and cost-effective choice, while insulated sectional garage doors are often considered the premium option due to their excellent security, thermal efficiency and space-saving design. Roller garage doors are ideal where maximum driveway and garage space is required. Our team can advise on the most suitable solution for your property during a free site survey.
2. Can garage doors be automated?
Yes. Many garage door types, including up & over, sectional and roller garage doors, can be fitted with electric automation systems. Automated garage doors allow convenient operation via remote controls, wall-mounted switches or other access solutions, providing greater convenience, security and ease of use.
3. Are insulated garage doors worth it?
For many properties, insulated garage doors provide significant benefits. Insulated sectional and roller garage doors can help reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency and minimise external noise. They are particularly beneficial where the garage is attached to the home or used as a workshop, gym or storage area.
4. How secure are modern garage doors?
Modern garage doors are designed with security in mind and can incorporate features such as multi-point locking systems, reinforced construction and advanced automation safety features. Many of the garage doors we install also include high-security locking mechanisms to help protect vehicles, tools and other valuable items stored within the garage.
5. What colours and finishes are available for garage doors?
Modern garage doors are available in a wide range of colours, finishes and styles to complement both traditional and contemporary properties. Depending on the door selected, options may include standard factory finishes, woodgrain effects and bespoke RAL colours, allowing the door to be tailored to your property’s appearance.
