garage door

Hi, I a re-painting a Henderson galvanised garage door from the mid 80s. The paint was generally pretty loose, so after 12 hours scraping and a few spots of Nitromorse, it's basically completely bare and rust free. Where the main metal sheet meets the vertical end pieces, there is some gaps...

Having removed the existing peeling white paint and sanded my garage door back to the metal, I applied a small area of 'Hammerite - Direct to Galvanised' only to find the consistency seemed more like a glue and the area hasn't covered well at all (see attached). The paint did have a creamy...

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice... We're purchasing a new build and one of the things I asked was a side door to be fitted in the garage, so you can access from the garden and not just through the side gate and then through the main garage door. They came back to us and said it couldn't be done...

Hi, I'm in the process of removing the paint of my galvanised steel garage door. The paint was peeling off so needed removing. I'm wondering what the best types of paint are to repaint it? Once I'm back to the galvanising should I go for something like red oxide primer, undercoat then gloss...

One of the springs or cables on my up and over garage door has snapped off due to having been heavily corroded. Which tradesman would be most suitable for this type of work and as an estimate how much would it cost to have it replaced?

Just moved into my first home! We've got a up and over garage door. The garage door arm has come off the wooden frame on one side. I have reinserted and tightened the two bolts but it has come straight off again. I assume this means the frame is rotten and bolts have lost their grip...
