Garage Door Services Cumbria

From initial site visit and discussions of options to generation of a quotation, very helpful and clear. Eventual installation on a day to suit me was done very efficiently and to a high standard. Gary was very pleasant and friendly to deal with and I have no hesitation in highly recommending his company.

Gary came to our house to look at replacing two garage doors for electric replacements. Due to our work commitments we could only accomodate a visit post 5pm which was absolutely no problem for Gary and his friendliness and eagerness to help immediately impressed us. He talked us through each option and didn't go for the most expensive option but the best one for our needs, which again impressed us. Once we chose what we wanted after a few days Gary confirmed the order and told us that once the doors had arrived he would be in touch to arrange installation. True to his word he contacted us a few weeks later and we arranged for him to come and fit them. He turned up promptly at the agreed time and him and his colleague got on with the work quickly, efficiently and without hesitation. Once complete, he talked us through the operation of the doors with great knowledge and gave us hints and tips to keep the doors looking their best for many years. All in all I would 100% recommend GDS doors from start to finish. I am a very fussy person and can quickly criticise poor service but Gary gave me no cause for concern at all - which is rare! Thank you for a superb job!

Service within 24 hours of calling. Extremely helpful on the telephone prior to the visit. Prompt attendance on site, got the job done. Clearly very knowledgeable and experienced. Technicians were friendly, polite and helpful. Couldn’t be more pleased. Will definitely use GDS for garage door replacement when needed.

The installation was delayed by several months while we were waiting for a minor repair by the builder on our new garage. I had several conversations with Gary and sent photographs. When the appointment was made, Gary turned up on time. We discussed the location of the control unit and this was positioned to suit us with cables neatly clipped back to the wall. Ours is quite a heavy timber door but the motor works smoothly and quietly. Gary explained the controls and how to open the door if there is a power failure. He also managed to lubricate all the existing parts and got rid of a squeak I had been trying to find for months. Gary is very knowledgeable about garage doors, motors and their controls and explained everything clearly. He is also friendly and a good person to deal with over the phone, by email and face-to-face. Despite a long delay, there was no change in the original quotation and I think the motor and installation are very good value.

Gary arrived promptly to give me advice and guidance about fitting either a new electrified door or fitting a motor to my current one as I have new disability. He was knowledgeable and advised the cheaper option with no ‘sales pitch’ just a clear explanation of how each option might work for me. The quote was competitive but most importantly for me he could fit it at my convenience. Uniform, tidy trade van and professional manner made GDS Cumbria stand out as a local company I felt comfortable dealing with. The work was finished to my complete satisfaction with the garage left tidy and even minor adjustments made to door for free. Thank you

Arrived on time to quote. Explained everything in detail, running me through all the options, pros and cons. Was very patient waiting for my response weeks later (due to some building work I needed to complete) and honoured his quote, which was very reasonable. Installation and finish are astonishingly good; how he's managed to fit the door and mechanism so neatly on my dodgy garage is a testament to his skill and experience. Gary's installing the best doors you'll find, very high quality indeed. I've used a lot of trades whilst renovating my house and Gary is the best by a country mile. If you need an electric garage door, stop searching; you've found your man and you won't be disappointed. Many thanks Gary, I love it!

We contacted GDS Cumbria as we wanted to have an automatic garage door as the existing double door was getting a little heavy for my wife to handle. Gary, after having a look suggested putting a motor onto the existing door, which was in good condition anyway. Wasn’t strait forward as the garage had to have a minor alteration to accommodate the motor, however the work was completed in a couple of hours. We were prepared to have a new garage door but motorising the existing door has probably saved us £2000. Great job - works very well.

Gary was engaging and proactive from the first telephone contact and his communication throughout was faultless. Gary and Jason fitted the garage door with seamless professionalism, proactively ensuring the best finish surrounding the door and provided detailed instruction around the mechanics of the door. Overall a fantastic experience, excellent product and very friendly service. Highly recommended 5 star +

Gary was excellent to deal with. He had great communication throughout the quoting, purchasing of door and completion of install process. He gave us really good information and couldn’t have been more helpful. We would recommend him to friends and family in the future without hesitation.

We read the existing Which reviews of this company and having now engaged them ourselves to fit a new garage door, we concur with others’ comments and fully understand why they merit a Which 5-star rating. From start to finish Gary provided a friendly and professional approach to our needs, we felt in very capable hands. Everything went as agreed, installation by Gary and Jason of what is obviously a top-quality product was seamless, and the site was left spotless. Put it like this, if we were moving house again and out of the area, and needed a new garage door in the new property, we would be calling Gary and asking him to travel!

Gary was engaging and proactive from the first telephone contact and his communication was excellent until he turned up on site. The work by Gary and Jason was completed in super quick time and everything was explained in great detail which gave me confidence that I was getting the optimum solution at an appropriate cost. All in all a great experience and very friendly service.

Brilliant experience. Gary was able to diagnose the repair I needed to my garage door over the phone and, as it was a small job, fit it around another job the very next day. The quote was clear and given upfront. Plus it was cheerful service from two chaps who clearly knew their stuff!

Due to arthritis needed an automated garage door. Gary provided brochures of options available together with an explanation of the doors he felt would suit our requirements. Quotations were given. Garage door and motor were fitted in a morning. Old door taken away and everything left clean and tidy. Amount paid was exactly as quoted. On completion of work Gary demonstrated the new door and thoroughly explained the workings making sure we were happy with the product. Gary was recommended to us and we would certainly recommend him to others. We found Gary to be both professional and a pleasant person to give us the advice we needed.

Gary came and quoted us. When the order came in he rang to arrange a suitable day. A very pleasant chap who outlined in detail what was required. He completed the work efficiently and we are thrilled with the outcome.

We were delighted with the service and results we received from Gary. He took time to explain the options available to us, arrived when promised and the cost was exactly what he quoted. The door was fitted in a couple of hours or so and the old door was removed. Everything was left in a tidy and clean state and the door worked perfectly.

I was recommended to approach Gary with a problem of remote controls not working as required. Gary immediately made me feel confident in his expertise. He rapidly amended the controls which worked immediately. He showed me the manual method of adjusting and using the alternative controls in the garage. He also lubricated the garage door rails etc. Thank you, Gary!

I saw this company advertising that they were registered as a 'Which? Trusted Trader', and so I decided to contact them to explain that my large and very heavy industrial type electric roller shutter garage door had stopped working and we couldn't get into the garage. Whilst talking to Gary on the telephone I was instantly impressed with his politeness and knowledge and very importantly, advising me what the fully fitted costs were likely to be, including VAT, for some of the possible causes, and his assurance that he would only do work that it was essential to do. A date was set and Gary promptly arrived and was as friendly and polite as he had been on the phone. He wasted no time in getting to work and ruled out that the motor was at fault and that the problem lay with the control unit and that this was also a cheaper repair for me. He replaced that and even fitted a safety system that detects movement underneath the very heavy door to prevent it lowering on anyone stood underneath it. He completed the full system repair whilst with us and we were absolutely delighted with the cost. Gary is a really good lad and his workmanship and customer relations skills are exemplary. Others would do well to follow his example. I wholeheartedly recommend him and won't hesitate to contact him again in the future if ever we need garage door repairs or replacement. Thanks again Gary for a top job!

From first contact Gary was professional and polite. He visited my home promptly, gave an assessment with no pressure and the purchase was entirely my decision. Quick to quote, the garage door was ordered and I was advised fitting to be in three weeks. Installation was spot on, quick and tidy. Gary is a very nice man and experienced tradesman. Very pleased with work carried out. Excellent service, would highly recommended.

3 years ago we made the poor decision to buy a cheap roller garage door from a company in Manchester. We had problems with this door and we were never happy with it. The company stopped trading and we needed to do something about the door as it would not close fully. I was recommended Gary. What a great guy, he made an assessment and it was clear that the door was not fit for purpose. He made adjustments so it would close and left the decision to us about what we should do. I asked for a quote and I was pleased with what he could do so we went ahead with a new door. What a difference, it looks so much better, it’s sturdy and so smooth in operation. It is also very quiet, there is hardly any noise. Gary also made repairs to the garage from the poor work conducted by the past fitters. I would fully recommend Gary, don’t make the mistake I made

From the very first contact Gary was very professional and his communications were always prompt and informative which is very rare these days. His knowledge was very comprehensive and offered good sound advice without any bias or a hard sell. The ordering process was easy no need for a deposit just pay after installation and Gary's delivery time estimates were spot on. The fitting was quick, efficient and very tidy, Gary and Jason did a very neat job of sorting out the area where the old door frame had been, the finished result was excellent. We are very pleased with the new garage door and the service Gary provided, it was good to deal with a professional who understands the importance of excellent customer care. We would recommend Gary and the service he provides 100%.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while but have only just remembered to do it. This is no reflection on Gary and the service he provides, he is brilliant. In this day and age it is such a relief to get a tradesman who offers honest advice, turns up when he says he will and does a really good job for a reasonable price. He is also pleasant and polite. I highly recommend him.

The Door was ordered and installed very quickly.Good professional and efficient job done. We are very pleased with every aspect. Thank you Gary.

GDS Cumbria was amazing from the beginning. Our garage doors are an unusual size and Gary went above & beyond to come up with a solution to ensure the replacement doors would fit perfectly. The fitting was done far quicker than I expected it to be. Gary & his dad were very friendly & professional. The area if works was left completely immaculate. We are absolutely delighted with the results, quality of the product and the fitting & attention to detail. Just outstanding result. We would and will highly recommend this Company.
