First Light Home Improvements fitted our new garage door and they did a fantastic job! Cleanly removing the old, damaged door and installing a sturdy framework for the new one. We are very happy with the new door and highly recommend First Light! Thank you for a job perfectly done!

I contacted Peter looking for advice regarding some small repair jobs my elderly dad needed done around the house. Peter kindly took the time to recommend to me just the right person for this work, as Peter's company specialises in garage doors - my mistake! Thank you Peter and First Light for helping me and my Dad out, that thoughfulness is much appreciated!

Report
Our Cardale garage door opened but then - horror - it started to bend. We could see that a cable had snapped so called a chap from Seaton who repaired it last time. Unfortunately he had retired but had seen a van and taken the number in case anyone asked... Looking at reviews we gave them a call and have to say they were polite, efficient and came when they said they would, even calling ahead to ensure we knew to expect them. Would highly recommend - and the price was reasonable too. Well worth every penny. Thank you.

The team successfully fitted a new garage door last year. Efficient and friendly experience. We had a problem with an uneven floor for the door seal. After corrective work called Pete who quickly turned up to check on door settings.
15 min work (no charge) Excellent after sales service. Recommended garage door company.
