Just to say how very happy we are with our beautiful door. Just loving turning into the drive and seeing it. It was definitely the right choice in the end! The guys that came to fit were great. I didn’t ask about maintenance of the door, keeping clean etc and also for future reference what paint was used.
Also just so you know we made the final payment on Tuesday afternoon so hopefully received.
Many thanks Steve and if you’d like to come and see you’re very welcome.
A very good, honest, reliable and professional company. Found their employees friendly and knowledgeable. Steve came to do the survey and explained what would happen. Three weeks later an appointment was made and the door was fitted. Nathan the fitter was on time and fitted the door very quickly. He demonstrated how to operate the equipment. Left the premises very clean and tidy. Had other quotes but this company in my mind were about quality and aftercare.
Both John and Steve were excellent, extremely tidy efficient and pleasant.
Would definitely recommend, have already recommended to my builders.
Patrick was a very pleasant and tidy worker, he fitted the door with care and explained details and the operation of the equipment.
Highly professional company who did what they promised, when they promised. Both sets of workmen were brilliant, the builders who fitted the RSJ and removed the old brickwork and the door fitters who came on day two. Highly recommend this company. I had quotes that were £X higher but went with Doormatic because I liked the way they introduced themselves and told me everything honestly. I do not regret the decision.
Professional, friendly experience from start to finish.Old doors removed and taken away. New doors fitted, operation fully explained and all left clean and tidy in a little over 4 hours.
Excellent service, prior, during and after, quick, tidy, neat work and pleasant workmen.
Really good price, fantastic, quality door, fantastic workmanship, excellent courteous and tidiness, good as it gets.
Nathan did a superb job and was polite, friendly and professional. I wish all tradesmen were as good!
Friendly, professional installers. Quality job completed quickly and without hassle.
Efficient and quick. Nathan arrived let us know he was on site, completed the job and advised us and left. Other than a new door there was no other evidence they were on site.
Good workmanship and very courteous. Bit untidy due to large area to work in but all perfect when left. Job well done and superior product.
Very pleasant to deal with. Did everything that they promised, returning calls, being on time, sending samples. Very efficient.
Service very good and ok.
Prompt service when old door failed. Diagnosed and estimated quickly. Never any problem contacting them.
Absolutely thrilled. On time. A most pleasant, helpful and professional young man.
Excellent product, well fitted, improves garage appearance, a delight to operate, wish I’d done it years ago.

Prices in South London vary depending on the type and size of the garage door you choose. Chalfont Garage Doors supplies everything from cost-effective up-and-over doors through to fully insulated sectional and roller doors. The total fitted price depends on door type, width/height, finish, insulation level, and whether you want manual or automated operation. For a fast estimate, share opening dimensions and a photo of the inside and outside of your garage. For the most accurate price, book a free on-site survey with our South London team on 0203 362 9427.
Often, repairing is the most cost-effective route—especially for issues like cables, rollers, springs, hinges, locks, or motors. Replacement is smarter when panels are twisted or rusted, parts are obsolete, the door is very draughty, or you want better insulation, security, or electric operation. As a rule of thumb: if repairs exceed roughly 30–40% of a like-for-like new door, it’s worth pricing a replacement. Chalfont Garage Doors will explain both options before you decide.
Motor specification, safety features, and design extras influence price. Heavier doors need higher-torque motors; soft start/stop and battery backup add convenience. Proper safety (safety edges, photocells, anti-lift braking) is essential. Add-ons such as smart Wi-Fi control, keypads, extra remotes, and courtesy lighting also affect cost. To keep budgets sensible, many South London customers choose standard colours and straightforward glazing. For a tailored specification, speak to Chalfont Garage Doors on 0203 362 9427.
No. Chalfont Garage Doors offers free surveys throughout South London. Our engineer will measure the opening, check headroom and side room, discuss finishes, and explain automation options. This ensures the price we provide is accurate and there are no surprises on installation day.
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for garage doors in South London. Quotes can be given from photos and measurements initially, with final confirmation after an in-person survey. Call 0203 362 9427 to arrange yours.
Yes. A double garage door requires more materials and a stronger operating system, so it costs more than a single door. However, one double door is often cheaper than installing two singles side by side. Chalfont Garage Doors can advise which option makes most sense for your garage.
Automation adds to the upfront cost, but it provides daily convenience and improved security. The motor, safety systems, and remotes account for the difference. Many South London homeowners consider it worth the investment, especially for larger or heavier doors.
Standard colours like white or black are included in base pricing. Wood-grain or custom finishes increase cost due to special materials and manufacturing. Chalfont Garage Doors will show you samples during your South London survey so you can balance style and budget.
Spring repairs vary with door size and spring type. In South London, typical repair costs are significantly less than a full replacement. Chalfont Garage Doors carries springs for most models and can usually replace them same day.
Yes. If you find a like-for-like product and installation service at a lower price, Chalfont Garage Doors will do our best to match it. Our goal is to give South London customers value without compromising on quality or safety.

Our prices include removal and disposal of your old door, fitting the new frame and door, adjusting springs or motors, testing safety systems, and a full handover. There are no hidden extras—everything is explained up front by Chalfont Garage Doors.

Yes. If you provide basic measurements and a photo of your current garage, Chalfont Garage Doors can give a ballpark estimate by phone or email. This is then confirmed after an on-site survey in South London.
It depends on your property layout and how you use the garage. Roller doors are ideal for tight South London driveways where space is limited. Sectional doors provide excellent insulation and weather-sealing, perfect for attached garages. Up-and-over doors are cost-effective but need clearance to swing out. Side-hinged doors are suited for frequent walk-through access. Chalfont Garage Doors will assess your space and recommend the best option.
Yes. Insulated doors reduce draughts, condensation, and noise from busy roads. Double-skinned panels with foam cores and perimeter seals help stabilise garage temperatures. Chalfont Garage Doors supplies insulated options for homeowners across South London.
Often yes. If the door is balanced and in good condition, we can retrofit motors. Roller doors may take a tubular motor; sectional or up-and-over doors typically need an overhead operator. Safety features are included. If the door isn’t suitable, we’ll advise on replacement options.
Garage doors can be made from steel, aluminium, timber, GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), or uPVC. Steel is durable and secure, aluminium is lightweight, timber is traditional and attractive, and GRP/uPVC are low-maintenance. Chalfont Garage Doors will help you choose based on appearance, budget, and use.
Roller doors require minimal maintenance—mainly keeping tracks clean, checking safety edges, and occasional lubrication. Chalfont Garage Doors provides guidance and servicing options for South London customers.

Our roller and sectional doors include anti-lift features such as braking motors, deep side guides, rigid bottom slats, and strong end-locks that resist levering. Sectional doors use multi-point locking or a motor drive-gear lock to hold panels shut. Installation quality is critical: correctly fixed guides, brackets, and panel alignment greatly improve resistance. Chalfont Garage Doors can also advise on side-door locks, lighting, and CCTV for added protection.
Choose doors that declare compliance with relevant EN safety and performance standards and carry CE/UKCA conformity information, together with clear manufacturer warranties. Some models participate in independent security schemes. Chalfont Garage Doors supplies products that meet these requirements and can explain the options during your survey.
Usually no: like-for-like replacements don’t need planning permission. You may need approval if you change the opening size or if your home is listed or within a conservation area. If you’re unsure, Chalfont Garage Doors will guide you on checking with your local council.
