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.

Gary and his workmate fitted our new electric sectional garage door. From beginning to end, Gary provided an extremely efficient, professional and friendly service. We required a bespoke door due to the size of our garage door frame, Gary gave us the quote with a timeframe for the supply and fitting and kept us updated throughout. Gary confirmed the time that he would start the fitting process and the time that he would be likely to finish, and on the day he made a brilliant job of the fitting, tidied up perfectly and took us though the workings of the door and what to do regarding the guarantee. Gary is an exceptional trader, it's a shame he does not diversify into all other aspects of the building trade because he is such a professional, efficient and friendly individual! We would really recommend his services to anyone who needs a garage door replaced or repaired.

One of the most genuine, honest tradesperson we have met, a pleasure to deal with and buy from. We had a new nine foot wide sectional panel electric garage door, ordered to fit. We asked Gary what deposit he required to place the order, no deposit required he said, pay when the door is fitted and we were happy with the completed job. Incredible, would highly recommend one hundred percent. Thank you Gary.

Quotes for a range of doors were provided and quick email in response to any queries. Very informative when doing the site survey which enabled us to make an informed decision when choosing a door. Less than 2 weeks from accepting the quote until the door was fitted. Very professional and efficient when fitting the door and friendly manner. Gary explained clearly on the use and maintenance of the door and let us know if there were any problems just to give him a ring. Really pleased with the electric roller garage door what a difference to the previous up-and-over door.

Two garage doors were installed to the agreed schedule and budget. We chose this team as a result of watching them install a large garage door in our neighbours property and we are delighted with the finished results. Gary kept us informed of the processing of the order and contacted us when he was in receipt all items. He and John arrived punctually two days later and the whole process was competed in a most efficient and organised manner. We were talked through the processes involved in their use and Gary even offered to come back regularly to spray the runners! The workmanship inside the garage is impressive, the garage doors look amazing from the outside. The considerable amount of detritus removed from the original doors was packed away in their van and the drive was swept and cleaned up perfectly. We were assured that we only had to pick the phone up if we needed any further attention and we knew that these were not just hollow words ! Excellent work superb finish. We cannot speak too highly of our whole experience with GDS.

Gary and John fitted a Garador Roller Door this week. They were easily contactable, polite, tidy, accommodating and were a pleasure to deal with.

It's nice to meet skilled tradesmen who do what they promised to do, on time and at the exact price that was quoted. They are just a joy to work with, friendly and totally professional. They even tidied up a messy earth wire from a previous heating job so it "looked right". What a breath of fresh air to have people you can trust to turn up, and do a fantastic job with no hassle! Our mum and dad also had a great experience during their fitting, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a stylish, functional garage door from a firm they can trust.

From the moment I contacted Gary to the instalment of the door I found him very professional indeed. He turned up on time to give the quote. He kept me Informed of the progress of the factory ordered door. He gave me the fitting day and gave me a call around 1 hour before arrival so I was well prepared to give him access. The fitting of the garage door went smoothly and he left the area clean and tidy. He then gave me a practical step by step on the best way to open/close and lock the door. All in all I was very happy with the workmanship. I would definitely recommend Gary and his team

Both my wife and I struggled with our old garage door as we found it hard to open and close. Our family arranged for Gary & John from GDS to come and have a look. Both lads were exceptional; we chose which door would be best suited to our needs and which would look great on the house. The lads measured everything with such precision and were totally professional. The installation was a breeze; they worked like Trojans and never left one fragment of mess. We now have a fantastic finished automatic sectional door and at a great price. It’s so high-quality that my daughter and son-in-law have arranged for GDS to replace their garage door as well. Thanks lads.....great product and great service!

As I have a disability and find it hard to walk in and out my front door I decided to have a remote controlled garage door fitted. I checked out local company's to fit one and have to say how happy and grateful I am I choose G.D.S. From first phone call inquiry to completion of work Gary was an exceptional courteous and hard working professional. He came promptly to access and measure up, helped me choose the best door for me (not just the most expensive) and gave me a very competitive price. When we ordered he gave us a time frame for delivery and fitting which he kept to. On the day of fitting Gary and his assistant John turned up promptly at the time agreed and proceeded to work efficiently and methodically and tidied up as they went along the even disposed of the old garage door for me I cannot recommend G.D.S And Gary highly enough I have left this review for a month to see how things went with the door and I am extremely happy with the product thank you so much Gary.

Wanted a new sectional electrically operated garage door. After reading Which reviews sent an e-mail to Garage Door Services, Cumbria. Within 5 minutes received a telephone call from Gary. We arranged a visit to discuss an installation and cost. He arrived on time on the day. After a very helpful input from him we chose a door and system and he gave us a costing which was very reasonable. Arranged for the System to be ordered and fitted on it’s delivery to him. He subsequently contacted us and arranged an installation date. Arrived on time with his colleague and immediately set about removing the old door and replacing it with the new one. The matter was completed in less than a day. All rubbish and the old door with woodwork was taken away. The site being left clean and tidy. He explained how the system operated, how to maintain the system and should we have any issues to contact him immediately. Both Gary and his colleague were very helpful and pleasant. The new door installation was excellent with well fitted UPVC covering the unsightly brickwork and soffitt openings. In spite of the fact that I know steel components costs have risen, the price first quoted was that invoiced. Can highly recommend this Company

We needed to have a new garage door fitted as part of the condition of the sale of our house and Gary was fantastic from the moment we contacted him, after being badly let down by the first person we asked. Gary was friendly, helpful and very understanding of the situation. We ordered a new door through him and paid for the fitting before moving out, then Gary liaised with the new owners to arrange installation. The photo he has sent of the fitted door looks terrific, just wish we had contacted him in the first instance. Excellent communication throughout the process - now just need to get the door at our new house sorted!

Astoundingly good reliable service from a true professional: Gary came highly recommended to us by the UK manufacturer of our up n over door, and from the outset did everything he could to resolve the door's sudden operating fault as quickly as possible. Significantly, he also happily shared his knowledge with us (as new customers) about the workings and functionality of the darned door. In this day and age of mediocre service and, very often, indifference and incompetence, Gary's Garage Door Services is a real 'find': supportive, communicative, responsive and scrupulously fair in its pricing. We'd say 100% recommended but that would be an under-valuing: 100,000% is more like it! Thanks, Gary, for your greatly appreciated help!

I inadvertantly touched the remote that closes the garage door yesterday (when I had left the car partly in - as I was coming back later to go out again).

They managed to repair the brackets by adapting some spares in their van. They were excellent - very helpful indeed.

Just had a new garage door fitted, by Gary and his team. Excellent first class service and workmanship. Cannot recommend highly enough. All waste taken away, and my garage area, left clean, and rubbish free. An excellent product as well, all aspects of the door, fully explained after the job was complete. A seamless job, from quotation, to fitting.

I cannot praise John and Gary enough, John came round and did not push the sale but gave great advise and looked at ways of keeping the cost down. Gary and his colleague turned up to fit door, left them tea and coffee as I had to go out, they left the garage clean and tidy and the door and electrics were fitted brilliantly and is 100% better than my old door and electrics. fantastic

I contacted GDS Cumbria to replace a double garage door, Gary came round to provide information and give a quote the next day. He immediately saved me £390 as he said that the original motor would work with the new door (thank you). Following the order Gary and Norman arrived to fit the door. They worked professionally and were finished, having tidied up, within a few hours. No questions were too hard to answer and they even advised on how to complete the tiled lip of the flooring to stop the car from breaking the edges. I hope my workmanship is as good! Great job and smart door. Kind Regards, Jonathan

From our initial telephone enquiry we were given advice about suitable products. We called back once we had researched further as advised and were able to make an informed decision on the right garage door closer for us. A price and time was agreed by John for installation the next day, as a time slot was available in our area. Gary and Norman arrived as expected and were totally professional throughout the visit. The guys were all down to earth and friendly and were able to do the job straight away. There was a challenge to locate the joist in the garage ceiling to fix the guide rail as the garage had very deep insulation. This was unexpected but with perseverance the joist was located and the rail was fixed in place. We are so happy to see that the job has been done properly. We would recommend this company and will be repeat customers should we have the need. Thank you to all at GDS Cumbria.

Customer care by John and Gary was second to none. I value such care very highly and other firms could learn a lot from the way things are done at GDS. Workmanship by Gary and Norman was outstanding. They worked quickly and were totally professional throughout, with a wonderful sense of humour thrown in. It was a delight to have them doing the work for me. John, Gary and Norman are all brilliant hard working, dedicated people and I would have no hesitation in recommending GDS to anyone.

It was such a pleasure to deal with, such a caring company, having a problem with an existing electric door opener on a very large panel door.

We were visited this morning by John, Gary and the legend that is Norman. They worked quietly and efficiently to install our replacement garage doors. They had been chosen after consulting on site with John whose advice and experience appears second to none. They arrived within the time frame agreed and were fitted without fuss or too much mess. They disposed of the old doors, cleaning up after themselves and leaving nothing for us to do at all. The ubiquitous mobile phone was conspicuous by its absence as we have had previous experiences with workers delaying the completion of their chosen task to answer at great length enquiries or more usually private phone calls. Because of this, their visit was very business-like and effectively expedited within a morning. We would have no hesitation in recommending GDS to anyone who, like us, needs new or replacement garage doors. The breadth of the knowledge and experience shows in their resulting work.

We found John, the proprietor of GDS to be the most knowledgeable about products when first looking for a large garage door, his honest, straightforward advice over the phone and during the site visit gave us the confidence to place an order. The door was by John and his son and fitted in the timescales agreed and the installation finish and quality was good from start to finish In summary, good value for money and great to deal with a proprietor with the knowledge that only years of installation experience can bring

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.

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 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.

Garage Door malfunction

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.
