About Us

Based in Kent we offer homeowners and businesses across the region the very best services for garage doors, gates, commercial roller doors and shutters and a wide range of automation systems.

1st Choice Garage Doors Ltd was established in 1986, over 25 years ago and was based in Swanley, Kent. Over the years we have grown and expanded our business and in 2010 we relocated to our own purpose built yard and warehouse in Wrotham Heath, near Sevenoaks, Kent.

Since 1986 we have carried out over 20,000 installations of garage doors to happy customers. We pride ourselves on providing the highest standards in garage door installation, repairs and gate automation to domestic, commercial and industrial clients across Kent, East Sussex, Surrey, South East London and South Essex. Indeed, from sectional, roller and side hinged doors to gates, shutters and automated systems, we have got everything covered. 

1st Choice Garage Doors is a small independent family business and our team take the greatest pride in their workmanship, earning the bulk of our work from previous customer recommendations. To see some of the comments we get from our customers, please take a look at our testimonials page.
