New garage doors for Cardiff homes

Most of our garage doors jobs in Cardiff start with the same call: "manual up-and-over doors that stick in winter, leak heat into the house wall and force you out of the car in the rain". Around here that usually means a Edwardian and Victorian bay-fronted houses in Cathays and Roath where the original frames have given up. We work right across CF10 and CF11 and CF14 and CF23 and CF24 and CF5 — Cyncoed, Llanishen, Roath and the surrounding streets — typically arriving via A48. Old door and frame removed, new sub-frame packed square to the reveal, tracks bolted through masonry, motor wired to a fused spur and set-and-forget limits.

Owner occupiers replacing one door or one window around Cardiff: what changes

What matters most on this kind of job

Making good inside so there is no decorating job left behind
A straight answer on whether the existing frame can be repaired instead
Door thresholds are set with a spirit level along their full length and then re-checked with a straight edge.
The perimeter foam goes in in two passes so the second lift meets the first without a void in the middle.

What we typically find on garage doors surveys around here

·The old timber back door has a live rot pocket at the bottom hinge that reads soft to a screwdriver tip.
·A cracked pane has been temporarily patched with clear tape and left for six months.
·The multipoint keeps have worn a shallow groove where the hooks now catch — closing needs a lift-and-pull.
·The manufacturer's kite mark on the corner of the glass is late-90s vintage, which explains the thermal performance.
·The internal reveal plaster is spalling under the cill where condensation has run for years.
·The bathroom obscure glass pattern has been discontinued for over a decade — matching a single pane is not possible.
·The trickle vent on the master bedroom has been foil-taped shut for warmth — condensation has doubled since.
·One of the sealed units carries the previous installer's phone number etched on the aluminium spacer bar.
·The friction hinge on one window sticks at 45° open and needs the palm of a hand to nudge past.
·The old timber sub-frame under the current uPVC unit is still in place and is soft at the bottom left corner.
·The trickle-vent covers have been snapped off and taped over from inside.
·The escutcheon plate on the back door hides a botched cylinder swap where the follower is worn.
·The internal window board has swelled at the sink end from years of splash and is delaminating along the front edge.
·One kitchen unit has a defrost trace across the low-e coating — the argon fill has been gone a while.
·The window opens fine on a cold morning and binds by 3pm on a hot afternoon — classic thermal-expansion bind.
·There is a permanent green algal streak below the sill where water is bypassing the drip groove.

Why residents are booking garage doors right now

·The resident wants the noise of the school run down and the light from the morning sun up.
·The insurance renewal notice flagged a locks upgrade requirement and the owner wants it done before the policy anniversary.
·The buyer has just moved in and is fixing everything the vendor's homebuyer report flagged, in priority order.
·The homeowner wants the composite slab to be paintable without voiding the manufacturer warranty.
·The owner wants the property to look ten years newer without needing an extension.
·A recent break-in on the street has moved security up the priority list ahead of aesthetics.
·The owner wants the job to finish clean — no leftover offcuts in the skip on the drive, no sealant on the render.
·The resident wants the kitchen brighter in the mornings without losing the privacy from next door's back garden.
·The resident does not want to be sold to — they want a survey, a written figure, and to be left to decide.
·The homeowner is on a smart meter and can see the room-by-room heat loss on a phone app.
·The buyer is furnishing the property for short-term let and wants a five-year cosmetic warranty on the door slab.
·A newborn has arrived and the parents want the nursery to hold a stable overnight temperature.
·The resident wants the front door lock to be re-keyable if a set of keys goes missing in year three.
·The owner wants the front door hardware to match a specific interior palette — brass, matt black, or brushed nickel.
·The resident works from home and wants the neighbour's dog to stop being the loudest thing on every call.

How our fitters actually do the work

·The internal reveal is masked before any silicone runs, so the finished bead is a clean line against the plaster.
·The fitting van is stocked with the specific spare parts likely to be needed on the day — not a return trip on a missing hinge.
·New frames sit on hardwood packers, not plastic offcuts — plastic creeps under load, timber does not.
·The door slab gets a full inspection before hanging — dents, delamination, edge integrity, all noted before fixings go through.
·The site tidy happens twice per day, not once at the end, so brick dust doesn't track through the house.
·The letterplate is fitted with the internal flap set to close under its own weight without dragging.
·The trickle-vent covers are set with their vane orientation matched across a bank of windows for visual consistency.
·The bay assembly is squared with a laser diagonal, not a tape measure and eye.
·The multipoint hooks are lightly greased after fitting, before the door is closed for the first time.
·The crew photographs the finished elevation from the street and shares it with the office as the sign-off record.
·The internal trim goes on with pin nails through the flange, not straight through the visible face.
·The threshold ramp on an accessible door is set to a maximum 15mm rise and confirmed with a spirit-level lip.
·The old cylinder is disposed of by the crew, not left in a bag on the drive for the client to bin.
·The gasket at the corner mitre is butt-jointed with a fresh knife cut, not stretched and hoped.
·The perimeter airtight tape is applied over the frame flange in a single unbroken run around all four sides.
·Fixings are always at the reinforcement points — a screw through the chamber alone loosens within a year.
