Contacted GDS Cumbria and within a few days John & Gary came round to measure up and provide a quote. Very knowledgable about the product range and provided the information we required to decide the right garage door for us. Left us with a very competitive quote, no hard sell. We called over a week later to place the order but we never felt under any pressure at all. Very happy with the installation, they left the work area clean and tidy with no issues at all. Would definitely recommend them to others thinking of having similar work.

Excellent service and can thoroughly recommend. We wanted our non-standard size manually operated double garage door changing to an electrically operated one. One company came out and never got back to us and another company never turned up for the appointment! So glad I found GDS on Which? Local. Father and son turned up and did a thorough measure and took a lot of time to see if they could fit just the electric motor to our door, or if we needed a complete new door. They were able to just fit the motor, which was obviously a lot cheaper than having a new door. This was a difficult and fiddly job because of the way our garage and door was originally built and they have done a lovely neat job. I can now open and close the door without putting my back out again! Thank you GDS.

From the first phone call we made for advice to the carrying out of the work, we can thoroughly recommend John for his helpfulness, reliability, punctuality, determination to solve a problem and efficiency. What's more, he and his son Gary were polite and cheerful. Excellent workmanship and value for money.

John and Gary fitted our new double sectional door last week. Initially we had been considering a roller door, but John gave us compelling reasons why a sectional door would be preferably for our situation, despite it being a cheaper option and therefore possibly less profitable for him. Even though they had an eighty mile journey, they were punctual to the minute and completed the job in an extremely professional manner. We are delighted with the new door and have no hesitation in recommending GDS Cumbria.

I found GDS on the internet and rang John. He came round in a day or two, discussed all the options and gave me a quote. No hard sell - I did not feel pressured. I decided on a new door. Within two weeks John and Gary came and fitted it. They were very friendly and efficient. The new door is excellent and they made a very neat job of it. I would recommend them to anyone.

Contacted company after looking on Internet for local company. John arranged to come and see me. Came up with the right product for me and there was no hard sell. Price was very competitive and being a small 2 man team put my mind at rest the job would be done right. From ordering to getting fitted was only 3 weeks. The workmanship was outstanding and I'm really pleased with the end result. Could not recommend enough.

I first asked for advice on a potentially difficult problem and found G D S most helpful. Having made a choice of what seemed the best solution I provided approximate measurements and received a very prompt response for an on site survey. A solution was agreed and an installation in three weeks was offered at an acceptable cost. A later phone call offered installation a week earlier than first agreed, which given weather conditions was immediately accepted. Installation took less than half a day and a very neat job was completed. I found the whole exercise excellent. Other traders could learn a lot about customer relations from this firm.

Excellent service from a very professional Father and Son duo. Clear, precise quotation together with sound advise and recommendations. This was followed up by installation on time, efficiently executed along with good instruction and ongoing care advice. All done with good humour, good crack (that's conversation for those who don't follow the lingo): a quality job!!

Garage Door malfunction
Customer Service
Quality
Value
My very large and heavy electrically operated garage roller door had been malfunctioning for some time. The local company completely failed to fix it quoting firstly a completly new door being required. On a follow up visit they said it was unfixable due to replacement motors no longer being available. Receiving a firm offer on the sale of the house and due to family major illness keeping me 250 miles away, I found GDS under "Trusted Traders". I really did have to totally trust them. They responded promptly and courteously to my call. Sending them directions and a key to the garage demanded absolutely total trust in a total stranger. That trust was completely justified: Despite being located 50+ miles from the job, GDS attended when they were next in the area, phoned me when on the scene to clarify a couple of points and fixed the door, reporting back to me that evening. I have been charged £60. I cannot give anything less than than 5 stars to all aspects of my dealings with John Palmer of GDS. I have absolutely no connections with him or the company other than as detailed above. JTP

From the initial phone call I knew I would be happy with John. I thought I needed a new garage door but John said not. I sent a few images by email and John was confident he could fix my door at a fraction of the cost. He came, on time and got to work straight away and was finished in 45 minutes. My door works better than it did before it broke. I couldn't be more pleased.

Philip & James gave me an online quote for a new powered garage door. Followed by a site visit. The cost remained the same as the quote despite structural problems. They arrived on time, courteous & professional at all times. A great job done at a good price. Excellent.

Replacement of garage door. Professional, informative yet friendly service. Arrived at arranged time and worked until the job was done. Extremely tidy and positive approach. Fitting of the door has reduced the operation noise, draughts, and has increased the brightness of garage interior. Value for money for quality product and service. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service. Very helpful. I contacted them by phone, described the problem, emailed them a photo of the broken part (door arm). They ordered a new part & fitted it within a couple of days. They arrived when they said they would, and repaired my garage door for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

GDS replaced my old garage door and from start to finish they were totally professional, friendly, informative and tidy. The result has given the garage a clean and tidy finish, at the same time has dramatically reduced noise and draft from the previous door. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a new garage door, the price was excellent and great value for what I consider to be a high quality door. Extremely happy customer.

We thought we knew exactly which style of electric garage door we wanted but, on listening to John, he advised us on a better style door, more fit for purpose. We are delighted with the result. John was very professional throughout, punctual and proficient and the end result saved us
