Why Skandoor Stands Alone Above the Competition

There are many garage door companies out there now. Search online and you’ll find dozens – national chains, local fitters, resellers who’ll source a door from abroad and send someone round to put it up. Some are decent. Plenty aren’t.

Skandoor has been manufacturing and installing garage doors from our workshop in Bishop’s Waltham since 2010. We’re family-run, we employ our own teams, and we have complete control over every stage of the process.

Here’s what that looks like in practice – and why it produces a noticeably better result.

We Build the Doors Ourselves

Most garage door companies are resellers. They take your order, pass it to a third-party manufacturer, wait for delivery, and arrange for someone to fit it. The door turns up as a standard product, and the company selling it had nothing to do with how it was made.

We work differently. We manufacture sectional garage doors, roller doors, and side-hinged doors at our own facility in Hampshire. Every door is built to your exact measurements, powder-coated in your chosen colour, and checked before it leaves the workshop.

That means we can offer non-standard sizes, bespoke RAL colours to match your front door and windows, and configurations that off-the-shelf products don’t cover.

Our Install Team

Our own trained team carries out every Skandoor garage door installation. They work with our doors every day and have successfully overcome some seriously tricky installs.

They understand the mechanisms, the structural work, and the finishing details. And when they leave your property, the job is 100% done.

One Day, Start to Finish

We complete most installations in a single day. Our team arrives in the morning, carries out the work – including pier removal and RSJ fitting on 2-in-1 conversions – and expects to hand over a working door to you that same day.

It’s possible because we manage each step of manufacturing and installation:

• Structural work (pier removal, RSJ supply and fitting)
• Door fabrication at our Bishop’s Waltham workshop
• Professional garage door fitted by our dedicated team
• Brickwork, making good, and full tidy-up on the day

This makes it far easier to execute the same-day installs we’ve become known for.

Built on Reputation

We’ve completed hundreds of installations across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Surrey, Berkshire, West Sussex, and beyond. A huge proportion of our work comes through recommendations from previous customers.

Here are four points about our reputation you need to know:

• Premium, UK-manufactured doors with a 10-year curtain warranty
• Free, no-obligation home surveys with an instant quote
• Exquisite colour-matching across garage doors, front doors, and windows
• Clean, considerate installation with all waste removed on the day

We’ve been doing this since 2010, and we’ve yet to find a national chain that matches our quality, speed, or aftercare.

When you buy from Skandoor, you can expect top-quality doors with top-quality service, and that is what you’ll get.
