Thanks Openings. Our gates were damaged by accidentally being driven in to. Within ten days you have visited, carried out an assessment, sent a quote and today you have carried out the repair which was quite extensive. It was expertly done by James who services the gates bi-annually in an efficient, pleasant and courteous manner and they are now working very well again. Thank you Openings.

A pair of automated heavy wooden gates adjoining a listed building. Not the most straightforward job but they provided a full solution at a competitive price and delivered a great product. Cannot speak more highly of them. Thanks Openings. David S

Had an issue with our gates (15 years old supplied by a business no longer around), called up Openings to see if they could help but during covid-19 this wasnt possible, the lady who answered suggested the problem could be with the start-run capacitors, swapped them and all back and running! Amazing that the person picking up the phone is so knowledgable and helpful, many thanks and will be making sure I come to you for future needs and business.
