Firstly we have had our electric garage doors for 9 years and they are still working brilliantly. As a result of a problem we caused we requested an engineer visit and a young guy Johnny came who was excellent. Confident, cheerful, very knowledgeable, quickly identified the issue and delivered the solution as well as further advice. I don't write many reviews but in these days of negativity particularly about young people I wanted to acknowledge how impressed I was. A credit to the company.

UPDATE: Sept 2026. The two doors have worked perfectly now for 6 years. We needed one adjusting to fit our new extension. Paul Nicholson was calm and knowledgeable in findind a very clever solution. Very professional outfit! I would highly recommend. 2020: Had two garage doors fitted recently. Very impressed with the whole journey. The surveyor Paul Nicholson was extremely knowledgeable. The fitters (Paul and Patrick) were incredibly professional and skilled. I shopped around quite a bit, and Zap garage doors were the cheapest. My mum is booked in to have her garage door sorted now. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend. Thanks

Response from the owner:Thanks Ricky

Kyle, Mitch and Danny came to fit a new front door, electrified garage doors and some replacement windows for us near Doncaster, and were really good. Friendly, professional, made sure we were happy with everything, and even went above and beyond by making a special trip to get cement and fix the holes where our old garage door posts had been after I had mentioned it to them. Great, old-fashioned customer service that you don't often get these days. Thank you.

Had new garage doors fitted. Never thought about side opening ones until the survey. Over the moon with the result. Completely transformed my old garage.

Initial survey by Jordan and only a short wait before a professional installation by Kyle and Danny who kindly disposed of our old garage door. Very happy with this major upgrade to our property and I am happy to recommend this team from Zap Garage Doors at Doncaster.

Over the moon with our matt black side hinged garage doors fitted today by Zap. From arranging a visit to quote to fitting the customer service from all staff at Zap has been fantastic and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again, we’ve already had so many comments.

Finally decided our traditional ‘up and over’ door was no longer secure or weatherproof so booked Zap to replace it with an electric one. We had a socket installed and disabled the old alarm so we were good to go! The lads arrived on time ( but had to fuss the dogs first so they could get on without lots of barking) and were all done and tidied away in two hours - terrific job would definitely recommend.

Excellent service from ZAP. Doors are fantastic. Was a bit concerned as the garage is concrete sectional and much larger than most but the effect is brilliant. Very happy.

Ian turned up at 10am on his own. Lovely chap, polite and courteous and happy to explain anything I I asked. He did a cracking job and was done by 12, including 2 cups of tea. The finished job is spot on. Only wish there were 6 stars.

Recently got a door installed by Zap at Doncaster, first class service from start to finish, coming to my home explaining options, fitting, after service (there was a scratch on the cover which frankly I wouldn’t have been bothered with but they weren’t happy, they took away and replaced within the week. Great company to do business with wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I used the Sheffield branch to replace an existing garage door, and was extremely satisfied by their service. Very friendly and helpful office staff, a quote considerably lower than a competitor, and efficient fitting of the new door and mechanism. It needed an adjustment shortly afterwards, which was done without question. The garage door was subsequently damaged during a break-in and the staff rapidly organised a very effective repair and reinforcement. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Thanks Robert

Highly recommended. Excellent service. We have a Hormann garage door and the remote wasn't working. Hayley from Zap or Chatsworth solved it quickly.

Excellent job from start to finish. Seamless communication and service throughout. Especially the fitters who installed our new roller door Jonny & Mitchell they were both courteous, professional, and friendly, demonstrating excellent attention to detail. The installation was completed efficiently and to a high standard, and they cleaned up all debris, leaving the area tidy. We would highly recommend their service and with definitely use them again.
