Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the excellent service, highlighting the staff's professionalism, helpfulness, and friendly demeanor from initial contact to project completion. Many people are delighted with the high quality of the products, noting their sturdy build, attractive design, and overall value for money. The installation process is frequently described as smooth, efficient, and tidy, with reviewers appreciating the timely appointments and the expertise of the fitters. However, some customers were not happy with the pricing structure for certain services, feeling that the cost was disproportionate to the work performed, particularly for short service visits and replacement parts.

Fantastic from start to finish

New roller garage door installed, from my initial enquiry, to survey and throughout the order process everyone I dealt with was polite and friendly and kept me informed every step of the way. The fitter was great completed the installation quickly, tided up and took all the old stuff away! Would give 6 stars if it was possible! Will definitely recommend Access Garage Doors to friends and family

Dear Mr. Hassard,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you feel our service did not meet your expectations.

We always strive to provide the highest level of service and workmanship, and in this case, we went to considerable lengths to address your concerns—even though the crumbling mortar on the existing concrete lintel was outside the scope of our installation.

After your initial feedback, we promptly revisited your property on multiple occasions to inspect and rectify the issue. As discussed during our visits, we addressed the crumbling mortar by cleaning and resealing the area with silicone, ensuring both the inside and outside of the installation were to your satisfaction. Following our final visit, you expressed that you were happy with the outcome.

We take customer satisfaction seriously and are disappointed to receive a 1-star review despite our efforts to resolve the matter promptly and professionally. While we respect your opinion, we believe this rating does not fully reflect the level of service and commitment we provided throughout the process.

If there’s anything further we can do to address your concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in our services.

Kind Regards
Access Garage Doors team

Reliable, local company, offering excellent customer service.

Very professional from start to finish. Survey took place within 2 days of my initial phone call. Estimated supply and fitting dates were quicker than expected at this time of year. Were offered a weather defender, which other companies didn't. Didn't know you could get weather defenders for garages and jumped at the chance of having one as rain gets into the garage.

Highly recommended

We purchased a Hormann fire door to replace an existing door. Excellent service from order to installation. The two fitters, Dave & John, were very professional, clean and tidy, going beyond the job to try to resolve an issue we were having with our Hormann rollmatic garage door. Highly recommended and we would definitely use Access Garage Doors again should the need arise.

Great job when they eventually came

Great job when they eventually came, but 2 weeks to fix a completely unusable garage door that is used every day was far too long.

Thank you for your reply Access Garage Doors, but the primary reason cited for the protracted delay by your branch was the lack of available engineers. It took 5 days for the branch to even speak to an engineer about the repair, Over and above ordering the part.

Dear Mr Cray,

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re pleased to hear you’re happy with the repair and that your garage door is now working well.

We understand how inconvenient it must have been to wait for the repair, and we truly regret the delay. As your door required a specialized part that wasn’t a standard stock item, we needed to source it directly from the manufacturer and then find next available time slot for the repair, which unfortunately extended the waiting time.

Your feedback is invaluable, and we are continually working to improve our processes to minimize such delays in the future. Should you have any further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for choosing Access Garage Doors, and we hope we can provide a smoother experience next time.

Very happy. Thank you.

I was very impressed from my initial contact with the team in the South Croydon Office until the installation of my new roller garage door was complete. Excellent time keeping for on-site visits. John the Branch Manager was always friendly and helpful. Dave the installer was also friendly & helpful. He explained things clearly and left the site clean and tidy.
I’m very happy with my new garage door. I doubt I’ll need another garage door but if I do I will contact the team in South Croydon. Thank you.

Waste of time and money

The technician turned up late in the afternoon (5:15pm) of the scheduled day and following a cursory look at the garage door motor informed me that he did not have the correct replacement unit for the existing motor, despite me specifying the model on the earlier phone call. The technician requested the 30GBP call out charge which we paid on the spot. No follow up received - no estimate of cost received, All very poor. Suggest avoid this company.

Dear Mr Cumbus,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointment and we’d like to address your concerns.
We understand how important your garage door is, and we always aim to provide a timely and efficient service.
Our engineer visited your property within 24 hours of your call, as we prioritize urgent issues.
While we indicated the visit would be in the afternoon, we appreciate that our arrival at 5:15pm may have been later than you anticipated, and we’re sorry if this caused any inconvenience.

Regarding the replacement motor, our visit was intended to assess the issue and provide a repair quote, rather than to carry out an immediate repair.
We understand your frustration that the part was not available on this occasion, and we apologize if there was any misunderstanding about the purpose of the visit.

It’s worth noting that the door we installed for you over 20 years ago has provided many years of reliable service, and we’re committed to helping you extend its functionality.
While our engineer should have followed up with a quote sooner, we’re reviewing this internally to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

As a gesture of goodwill and to show our commitment to customer satisfaction, we will be refunding the £30 call-out fee.

We value your feedback and would like the opportunity to turn this experience around.
Our team will also be in touch to provide the repair quote and discuss next steps at your convenience.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to regain your trust.

Kind Regards,
Access Garage Doors team

Fantastic Garage Door

I'd had my eye on a garage door from Access for a while now. Finally got finance together and started the process. From survey to installation the company's communication was excellent. Reasonable price and they were able to give me the exact spec I wanted even when the pamphlet suggested I could not combine certain options. Door was made within the time frame indicated and installation was quick to arrange. Fitter was friendly, efficient and worked around the quirks of my old house to do the install. There was a slight niggle with a nonessential element which was resolved within two days. Now I have a fantastic electric rollerdoor which performs perfectly. I have even had neighbours come over just up talk about it. Could not be happier and highly recommend the company.
