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 Ł1199.



Local paper has an ad offering 'top of the range automatic remote controlled

garage door' fitted for Ł699 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.


Bought one of these doors for a friend..oh dear..shutters made out of kitchen foil.? runners out of alloy from a greenhouse..centre roller from builders skip..motor from a hairdryer..totally useless..shutter unwound from core..fell on the floor complete.! missing the car..put it back with aid of friends..noisy/unreliable/slow/..these are the good points..!!the handset is good because its Italian..now the motor has packed up/burnt out,so scrap..warrant useless as its now expired...do not buy one of these horrible doors...
