  • Insulated roller garage door fitted to a semi-detached home in Sunderland

    Domestic roller garage doors

    Sunderland’s housing is mostly semi-detached and terraced, with the majority of homes built with an integral or attached single garage rather than a detached double. Our 55mm and 77mm insulated aluminium profiles are sized and priced for exactly that kind of opening, and we’ve fitted hundreds of them across the city.

  • Galvanised steel roller shutter fitted to a commercial unit in Sunderland

    Commercial & industrial shutters

    Sunderland has a wide spread of industrial estates and warehouse units, from Doxford International and the Riverside through to smaller trade units dotted across the city, and we’ve fitted shutters on everything from single roller units on small retail fronts to full-width commercial openings on larger industrial sites.

    Security matters for any commercial premises, and our 75mm and 95mm galvanised steel profiles are built for daily use, strength, and wind resistance, on units that need opening and closing multiple times a day without compromising on protection.

Supply and fit, or DIY pack

Two ways to get your door in Sunderland

DIY pack

Save £100s installing your door yourself. If you’re a competent DIYer, fitting your own roller door is straightforward. Most customers complete it in a few hours with a standard drill and a helper.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Fix the guide rails to the wall. Drill, plug, and secure each side.
  2. Slide the top box into position (two people needed) then fix to the wall.
  3. Connect the door to the control unit and plug in.
  4. Set the open and close limits on the motor.

Done. No specialist tools or equipment needed.

If you get stuck at any point, free technical support is available. Our engineers have walked hundreds of customers through the installation.

Supply and fit

If you’d rather not get your hands dirty, and you’re within our local area, our team will survey your opening for free and fit the door for you. Being based in Sunderland means no long callout, no waiting weeks for an installer slot, we’re already here.

Built five minutes from where it's fitted

Our factory is on Ferryboat Lane at Sunrise Enterprise Park. When you order a door for a Sunderland address, there’s no haulage from elsewhere in the country and no third-party fitting team. The same business that manufactures your door sends the survey team and the installers.

Sunderland’s housing covers a wide range of garage types, from integral garages on 1960s and 70s semis to detached single garages on newer estates, and we’ve fitted into most of them. Being on the coast also means salt air is a real factor for anyone within a mile or two of the seafront, since it accelerates corrosion on lower-grade finishes faster than inland properties see.

If your existing roller door needs attention rather than replacing, see our roller shutter door maintenance and repairs page.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you can't find the answer to your question, give us a call, we're happy to help

Our doors are built to last and easy to maintain. If you’re on the coast, you might just need to give the curtain a slightly more frequent clean to keep it looking its best.

No. Most of our Sunderland installations are on integral garages, since that’s the most common type of garage in the city. The door fits the opening, not the building type.

We have removed the stress from measuring. You only need to give us the daylight opening (the exact brick-to-brick width and floor-to-lintel height), and our system calculates the necessary box and guide rail clearances for you. We provide a step-by-step measuring guide, and if you’re ever unsure, you can send us a photo of your opening before you buy.

When you buy from a large franchise, a portion of your money goes toward national advertising and franchisee fees. We are the actual manufacturers, building your door at our own site in Sunderland. Buying direct means your budget goes into materials, UKCA-marked quality, and engineering.

Because we manufacture everything in-house and keep our supply chains local, our standard turnaround time is typically under two weeks.

Yes. Sunderland is inside our standard 50-mile radius from our Ferryboat Lane factory, so every postcode in the city qualifies for a free site survey and professional fitting.
