What Is an up-and-over garage door?
An up-and-over garage door is a popular garage door style that opens by lifting outwards and then up into the garage space. Known for its simple operation, durability, and cost-effective design, an up-and-over garage door is a practical choice for many homes. Available in a range of styles and finishes, it offers a reliable and secure solution for homeowners looking for a classic, easy-to-use garage door.
Canopy vs Retractable
A canopy garage door opens partially into the garage, with part of the door still extending outside. A retractable garage door slides fully back into the garage on tracks, giving smoother operation and making it better suited to automation.
Both are reliable options, and the best choice depends on your space and how you want your up-and-over garage door to operate.
At Fortress Doors, we offer both canopy and retractable up-and-over garage doors to suit your property and requirements.

We have had our garage door replaced today by their installers. What a wonderful company to deal with. The whole process was seemless from start to finish.
It is great that this company sponsors the dogs trust and have made a donation as dog lovers ourselves after meeting the lovley Margaret the four legged member of the team.
Definitely recommend this company.

Had an issue with our electric Roller Garage door fitted by Fortress Doors as it would not open with the remote. Contacted Andy last night who kindly rerouted his guys from their first job this morning to come to ours. They quickly identified it was an electrical supply problem. I expected to pay, as there was no fault with the door, but on thanking Andy for their excellent service he waived any charge. Great service from a great company.

Mark arrived on time, as agreed to convert my electric up and over garage door back to a manual operated door. The conversion took quite a bit longer than estimated but Mark completed the project with a smile. Despite the additional time, I was charged the original quoted amount for the job. Mark was a pleasure to deal with and I would strongly recommend Fortress Doors for any Garage project you may have.

Thank you. My parents had a problem with one of their garage doors. Fortress sent someone over within 2 hours at 6pm in the evening to secure the door and will be back inca few days to fix the problem.

I couldn’t recommend Fortress Doors highly enough! Andy was brilliant from start to finish — really knowledgeable, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. The quality of the door and installation is absolutely spot on, and he made the whole process easy and stress-free. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and meticulous these days. Thanks again Andy — top service and top quality!

Had our shutter doors fitted today. They turned up on time and worked hard all morning and finished within three hours and did a lovely job. A very professional service from quote to fitting. The door looks great I am very pleased with them and would recommend to anyone in the Colchester area.

From the time we accepted the quote to the completion on installing the garage door, Andy kept us informed of the progress of the door being made and when to expect the installation. Date agreed and the guys arrived and removed old door and installed the new roller door within 3 hrs including cleaning up completely.
Fantastic Service all round. Would recommend them 100% for their Professional Service, workmanship and quality of their product.
