Dunvegan mixes older housing with small office conversions, many of them on properties where parking has been made secure at some point without much planning.
What we see in Dunvegan
Retro-fitted security is what we usually inherit here. A shutter or gate added years after the fact, sized to the gap rather than built for it, and fixed to whatever was closest. It works until it does not.
We build to the surveyed opening and fix to structure. On the office conversions we also look at cycle speed, because a door that is slow enough to be annoying gets propped open, and a propped door is not security at all.
Getting on site
Older streets mean narrow driveways and very little room to work, so we survey for access as well as for the opening. If the door has to come past a boundary wall or down a side passage we would rather know before manufacture than on the day the vehicle arrives. Where the garage sits under the house we also check that the floor and the lintel are what they look like, because on stock this age they often are not.
Motors, backup and load shedding
Older garages usually have no dedicated circuit and often no plug point near the door at all, so we include the electrical work in the quote rather than leaving you to arrange an electrician afterwards. Backup power matters here too, and we size it to actually cycle the door through a full load shedding block rather than fitting a token battery that manages one opening.
Repairs on any make
On doors this age the honest answer is often a repair rather than a replacement. A spring set, new pivots and a track realignment will bring a sound door back for a fraction of a new install, and we will happily do that where the frame is good. Where the frame has rusted through at floor level, which is common in these older openings, we say so plainly rather than fitting new hardware to something that will not hold it.
What it costs
We quote Dunvegan jobs off a free measured survey, itemised so you can see what the door, the motor and the installation each cost, and fixed in writing before anything is manufactured. We do not quote a range over the phone and then adjust it on site, because that is not a price, it is a deposit.
How soon we can be there
Surveys in Dunvegan are normally within one working day and the quote follows the same day the survey is done. Manufacture depends on the door, and we give you a real date rather than an optimistic one. Breakdowns are attended same-day wherever we can reach you.
Getting a quote
Send us the opening, or ask for a survey and we will come and measure it. Either way you get an itemised written price for your Dunvegan door, valid as quoted, with no charge for the visit.

Common questions
Roller doors in Dunvegan
It depends on the frame, not the age. If the frame is sound, a spring set, new pivots and a track realignment will bring the door back for a fraction of a new install and we will fit exactly that. If the frame has rusted through at floor level, which is common in older Dunvegan openings, new hardware will not hold and we will tell you so rather than taking the repair money twice.
Not for us, but it belongs in the quote. Older houses in Dunvegan often have no dedicated circuit at the door at all, so we include the electrical work rather than fitting the motor and leaving you to arrange an electrician. We also size the battery backup to cycle the door through a full load shedding block, not just once.
A roller shutter, in most cases. A lot of the older Dunvegan garages have under 300mm above the opening, which a standard sectional and its tracks simply cannot use. A roller curtain rolls into a much smaller headbox, and where even that is tight we can build a compact barrel or mount externally. We measure the lintel, side room and floor fall before quoting, so you hear it from us rather than after paying a deposit elsewhere.
