New Gliderol insulated roller shutter and UPcv surrounds

Pleasure to deal with Sean, who kept us informed throughout. Very pleased with product and fitting. Door appears to be of excellent quality....and much better looking in situ than many others we have seen/those around us!  Very pleased.  Has already made marked difference in reducing draught in integral garage.  Good to know that Sean also offers a repairs service, should the door need any attention in future years.
