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.

Correct - a typo on my part. Should be 01245 361676. Googling this gives 377
hits, most of which refer to local newspaper ads like the one I saw.

Googling Essex Garage Doors finds:

Essex Garage Doors Ltd

http://www.essexgaragedoors.com/

Essex Garage Doors
Unit D, Briarsford
Perry Road
Witham
Essex
CM8 3DZ
Tel: 01376 510901

and Seguro Garage Doors finds:

Seguro Garage Doors Ltd
215A Upminster Road South
Rainham
Essex RM13 9BB
Tel: 01277 355377

who also seem to trade as Garage Doors Essex.

They do have a £699 offer, though:

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

These are the two names to which I refer in my original post and which
appear in some of the Google hits, usually the ones that are not local paper
ads.

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

I know.
