    Garage Doors

    Posted 07 May

    Wonderful company with great customer service

    We were dreaming of a set of bifold doors for our garage extension but couldn’t find anyone who could make them at the quality we wanted within our budget - then we came across wooden gate makers! They have been absolutely brilliant from first reach out right through to fitting. We are over the moon with our garage doors which are so beautifully made and we felt were fantastic value for money. Claire & Phil have been an absolute pleasure to deal with - always answering questions and queries promptly and with great customer service. Thank you!

    Garage doors.

    I ordered bifold garage doors from Wooden Gate Makers because they could build and install exactly what I wanted. I did have to wait for the doors to be installed, but it was absolutely worth it. Henry and Aidan travelled three hours to fit the doors and still arrived on time, they were so polite and efficient. The quality of the work is top notch, I can’t imagine how they could be any better. I thoroughly recommend Wooden Gate Makers if you want the best.

    Quality quality quality!

    I had seen a few examples of the work carried out by Phil and his team around the local area, and was impressed with the quality and workmanship on various installations. They are a busy company, but I was happy to wait for my gates to be made and installed. I did look at other options, but decided the wait and quality were worth it, it was! An excellent job, courteously and professionally done, thank you Phil.

    Quality product and service for listed building

    The care and attention given throughout for our conservation area listed property tri-fold garage doors has been excellent. We were kept informed throughout the whole design, fabrication and installation process that was all straightforward . Phil and Claire have a great team with Henry and Aiden our joiners and installers. The finished set of wide bespoke doors looks amazing, are easy to operate, and already much admired and commented on. A quality product and service. Our ultimate endorsement - ordering two side gates to match in addition for installation later this year!
