The Bulldog difference

The only name on your door is ours.

Most garage door companies sell you a door made by someone else, then send someone else to fit it. We don’t.

Since Garry Terry founded Bulldog, every door has been surveyed, made, fitted and guaranteed by one family-run team, under one roof in Kent. Today Garry’s son Matthew runs operations alongside him, and the people who build your door are the same people who stand behind it.

  • Guaranteed by us

    Up to 15 years’ cover. We can promise that because we control every part, from the lathes to the British-made motor.

    We won’t be beaten on a like-for-like quote, and you’ll get a clear, itemised price with no hidden extras.

RollSafe™ safety system

Peace of mind, built in.

RollSafe™ is our own patented safety system. You won’t find it on anyone else’s door.

A precision magnetic sensor on the guide rails watches every closing cycle. If the door meets a child, a pet, a bike or the car, it stops and reverses in a blink. RollSafe™ Plus adds an optical beam, so it can spot an obstruction before it’s even touched.

This homeowner swapped two ageing up-and-over doors for one wide, sleek roller door. Turning two singles into one double is one of our specialities, and we handle the building work as well as the door.

“We recommend Bulldog”Another happy customer in Kent

“The difference in service was night and day. Bulldog’s sales chap actually provided some very useful info which made me go for a roller door over a sectional… Their attention to detail with the trims and mastic was exceptional. 6 stars if I could.”

Customer in Greater London · August 2026

“Jason came and surveyed our property and he arrived in a showroom on wheels… Gave me a demonstration on the door and honestly what a great experience. 10/10, don’t go anywhere else.”

Customer in Kent · June 2026

“Two and half hours later all finished - amazing… I’ve gone from tatty up and over to a very posh grey roller door. Couldn’t be more pleased.”

Customer in Kent · July 2026

“The fitters, Tony and Simon, arrived just after breakfast and completed the installation of our new electric roller door by lunchtime. It was an excellent job and they took away the old broken door as well.”

Customer in Kent · July 2026

“Initial survey process was very thorough and there was no pressure to purchase. Door was ready to be fitted much sooner than expected and the fitters, Lee and Tony, did a cracking job.”

Customer in Essex · June 2026

“Both Tony and Lee were very professional and friendly… Gary the owner came out and checked everything before installation so there were no unwanted surprises.”

FAQs

Can’t see yours? Call 0800 288 4040 or email info@bulldoggaragedoors.co.uk and you’ll get a real person in our Kent office.

How much does a new garage door cost?

Our roller garage doors start from £1,595, sectional doors from £2,995 and smart upgrades from £295. Your price depends on size, finish, insulation and whether you go electric. Your surveyor will give you a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras.

Roller or sectional: which is right for me?

Roller doors coil into a compact box above the opening, so you keep your driveway and almost all of your ceiling space. Sectional doors lift up and back into the roof space and offer the best insulation, which suits integral garages, gyms and workshops. Your surveyor brings working samples so you can try both.

Do you really make the doors yourselves?

Yes. Every Bulldog roller door is made to measure in our own factory in Upchurch, Kent. It’s how we control quality, keep lead times short and price without a middleman.

How long does it take?

Lead times depend on the door you choose, but because we make in-house they’re some of the quickest in the industry. We’ll confirm your timeframe at your survey. On the day, most fittings are finished in a few hours.

What guarantee do I get?

Up to 15 years. Because we survey, make and fit every door ourselves, we can stand behind it for longer.

What happens to my old door?

We take it away for you. We’re a licensed waste carrier, so your old door is disposed of responsibly, and we leave your garage clean and tidy.

Will an electric door still work in a power cut?

Yes. Our electric doors have a manual override, so you’re never locked in or out.

Do you repair doors you didn’t fit?

Yes. Our engineers repair and service all types of garage door: roller, sectional, up-and-over and side-hinged, electric or manual.

Which areas do you cover?

We fit garage doors for homes across Kent, Essex, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex and Greater London. Check your postcode.

Can I spread the cost?

Yes. We’re an FCA-authorised credit broker and can introduce you to our finance partner for flexible monthly payments, subject to status. Ask your surveyor about current options.
