The initial contact with the office was good. They arranged a date and came on that day at the time stated. They called us the day before to check that all was still well to go ahead. Both fitters were very pleasant, friendly and professional. They completed the work and all seems well. They disposed of some of the very large cardboard packaging for us as well which was appreciated. The cost was as originally quoted. Overall very satisfied and would certainly use them again.

My electric garage door was opening too fast and it had hit me twice. It also hit my wife on the head. After speaking to a flat owner neighbour, who had used this company with a similar problem, I phoned them. There was a expensive call out fee, but I went ahead. I was told that they would come next Tuesday (five days hence). They told me that they would remove the door, take it away,refurbish it, and reinstate it. Everything went as stated. They started at 9-30, took the door away and returned with it approx 2-30 pm. It was refitted and finished by 4 pm. The staff were efficient ,friendly, and tidy workers. When the job was finished they cleaned up and swept out the garage and it was left spotless. The door was transformed to closing as it should, and I was totally satisfied with their workmanship and efficiency. It was not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I would recommend this company 100%.

I received a phone call to say my garage door was in and due to a cancellation they could come and carry out the replacement the very next day. (This was four days early). They arrived on time and stayed to complete the job that same day to a very high standard. The workers were very polite and efficient. I would without hesitation recommend them.

Replaced motor of electric garage door

After our previous motor started to give problems and the original installers (1st Garage Doors) kept on charging for repairs that did not solve the problem, I contacted Advanced Shutters who advised that the motor needs to be replaced, as it is no longer possible to get parts for the previous motor, and that this was most likely the reason why we continued to have problems. However, this was never explained to us by the previous company who were happy to keep on charging us without solving the problem. I found Advanced Shutters to be honest and reliable and they were able to replace the motor within a few days. The workmen were very friendly and professional. We are happy with the new motor, though it is early days.

Advance Shutters Ltd have just fitted a new roller-style garage door and a new sun awning for the sitting room. We phoned. They called. We visited their excellent showroom just outside Lymington. On the agreed fitting day, they arrived on the dot of 9 as agreed and did both jobs in the day, despite some inclement weather. We had to attend a hospital appointment in the afternoon so weren't there when they finished. We returned to an excellent job, and everything as neat and tidy as could be. Two very charming and highly professional men did the work, for whom nothing was too much trouble. We were thrilled with the work. Highly recommended.

We have used Advance Shutters in a previous house and had no hesitation in using them for a roller shutter door on our garage. From our initial telephone contact through Warren visiting, measuring and quoting, soon to be followed by two great fitters completing the installation, the process was smooth, professional and easy. The fitters kindly offered to move some heavy racking back into the garage on completion. A great company who supply a great product and understand how to look after their customer.

My electric garage door fell off its track on one side and was hanging in mid air! I hunted around for someone who could come out that day to at least make the situation safe. The helpful lady at Advance Shutters found me one of their staff to attend that day. She gave me a maximum price for the work which would exclude parts. A team of two attended and repaired and serviced the door. They were very polite and tidy. Really glad I found the company.
