After 30 odd years our old garage door has given up the ghost. I'd like to
replace it with an electrically operated, insulated, roller shutter. Price
at Wickes for one to fit myself is £1199.

Local paper has an ad offering 'top of the range automatic remote controlled
garage door' fitted for £699 including VAT. No company name, just a phone
number. When I Google the phone number (01245 3612676) I get loads of hits
which refer to local papers all over the south east carrying the same ad.
Not a lot of info but I have come across the names Essex Garage Doors and
Seguro Garage Doors.

Anybody had any experience of them? Can't help wondering what the catch is.
I'm sure there must be one as the price is just too good to be true.

I'm trying to make sense of this post, but to no avail ...

Perhaps Bald Eagle would care to clarify ...?

The Chelmsford (01245) phone number is wrong: 01245 3612676 has too many
digits and Google does NOT get loads of hits for it. A search for
companies in the Chelsmsford area doesn't bring up anybody with a
remotely similar number either.

Googling Essex Garage Doors finds:

They do have a £699 offer, though:

(When I went back to Essex Garage Doors for a comparison, their web site
crashed!)

Witham, by the way, is much nearer Chelmsford than Rainham!
