Default Roller shutter garage doors

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.


Steer clear of Seguro if you want a quality product, very cheep and nasty, no mechanical locking, plastic axle with the curtain just screwed onto it, couldn't believe they charged £800 for it! The advert states that it's fully secure but you can lift the curtain straight up! Pay the extra and get a decent make, Hormann, Seceuroglide, Glideroll etc.
