What is a garage door conversion?

A garage door conversion involves modifying or replacing your existing garage space and door to improve functionality, security, or aesthetic appeal. This could include replacing an old door with a modern one, converting a single door to a double door, or redesigning the entire garage.
How long does a garage door conversion take?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the project. Simple conversions may take a day or two, while more extensive projects could require a week or more. During the consultation, we’ll provide a more accurate project timeline so you know what you’re dealing with.
Will my new garage door be energy-efficient?

Yes! At Severn Ltd, we offer insulated garage door solutions designed to improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss in winter and minimising heat gain in summer. Once we know the exact door you want on your conversion, we will likely let you know how much improvement you’ll get in real terms.
How much influence can I have on the design?

We work very closely with you to find out what it is that you want. We work hard to incorporate every factor into the design and consult you at several stages to ensure you’re happy. We are here to provide professional advice and expertise but you’re more than welcome to let us know what you want in terms of design.
