Super efficient service from start to…

Super efficient service from start to finish. Kept informed on progress of order. The fitting team of Rolf and his helper did an amazing job of the installation, working quickly and efficiently but with extreme care to ensure everything was perfect. Gave clear and precise usage instructions and left the work area spotlessly clean. I would definitely recommend Garrolla to anyone wanting a new garage door. 10 out of 10.

Highly Recommend Garolla!

We had our electric garage door installed today, and I'm extremely pleased with the result. The whole process, from the initial consultation to the installation, was professional and straightforward. Our installer Peter Czorny was fantastic, very friendly, informative and carried out an amazing job.

Louis

Louis garolla - TSE came out to repair my garage door opener. This man is efficient, friendly and knows his business. I am so happy I got Louis as my repairman. He can be trusted to take care of business properly and is a friendly chap to boot.

Delivered what was anticipated.

There was no shortage of email communication with a countdown to installation date. On the day installation was carried out in the morning rather than the expected afternoon and so was finished much earlier (the only reason for the slight downgrade). Installation was carried out efficiently and quickly with no residues of any kind to clear up leaving us very happy with the installation and the explanation of door operation.

Franchisees and poor organisation

The issue is that Garolla are using franchisees to complete work, I didnt know this until the day I was due to have my door installed and nobody turned up, turns out the door was never ordered despite the surveyor confirming that someone was coming at midday of the installation date.
I had expressed that I needed the door installing before I went on holiday as the current one was broken and not secure and was then promised it would be done the week before.
I was then told that they couldnt do the week before and asked for the week im on holiday which they already knew... then as I said cancel the order they could magically do it one day later than planned.

I don think this is necessarily Garolla who are to blame but ultimately im booking the works through them and its been poorly organised.

Morning Jack,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

I'm very sorry to read about your experience and can completely understand your frustration. Having a broken and unsecured garage door, making your requirements clear, and then finding that your installation could not proceed as planned is understandably disappointing.

Whilst some areas are supported by independently operated franchise partners, most of our installations are completed by Garolla-employed engineers. Either way, you placed your trust in Garolla and should expect the same high standard of service throughout. From what you've described, it's clear that we did not get that right on this occasion, particularly around communication and coordinating your installation.

I appreciate you recognising that the issues may not have originated with Garolla directly, however I fully accept that you placed your order with us and expected a coordinated service from start to finish.

I would welcome the opportunity to review what happened and discuss your experience further. Please feel free to contact me directly at w.chapman@garolla.co.uk quoting your order details.

Kind regards,

Wayne Chapman

Great Experience

I've only got good things to say about the experience so far with Garolla. Our new door was fitted today and very happy with it, has completely transformed the space and the house.

The staff we've dealt with have been professional, straight-forward and gone out of their way to help. Matthew Marney who did our survey was brilliant, walking us through what would work best (and giving sound advice on colour choices!). Peter Czorny who did today's installation was excellent, checked everything with us before hand, efficient fitting and what looks to be a perfect job, the walk-through at the end was a nice touch. Both were really friendly too, makes all the difference.

The door itself is quiet, quick and simple to operate and is a huge upgrade to what went before it.

Five star engineer, case still to be resolved

To be clear this rating of five stars is ONLY for the Engineer, Oakley, who after WEEKS of emails to this company was sent to fix our faulty door, he was prompt, courteous, efficient and very thorough this was the only pleasant part of our recent experience with Garolla
As our Case is still open with the company I would not comment on this company

New Garolla garage electric door

Friendly and professional approach from the team.
Good communication during all the process from the day the quote was done to post fitting the garage door.
The engineer was Freddie, who was approachable, very professional and with a good sense of humour. He arrived on time, explained all the important details during the door fitting and how it works.
I am satisfied with my new garage door.

The fitter, Gordon and office worker Cameron are useless

The fitter, Gordon, based in Newcastle was late, unprofessional and my husband had to spend FIVE HOURS assisting him on site to get the job done. He moaned throughout, tried to leave and even discussed quitting.

Unfortunately for him most of this was recorded and shared with Garolla who - guess what - have tried to brush off with a 'thank you for letting us know' message.

Cameron Dhesi has failed to acknowledge my complaint so I am seeking compensation

Hi Lauren,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I'm very sorry to read about your experience. Having an installation that required significant assistance from your husband, combined with concerns regarding the installer's conduct and communication on the day, is clearly not the standard of service we expect from our network.

I also understand your frustration regarding the handling of your complaint. When a customer takes the time to raise concerns, they rightly expect them to be acknowledged, investigated and responded to appropriately. From your comments, it's clear you feel we have fallen short in that regard.

I'd like the opportunity to review the complaint history, the information you have already provided, and the communication you've received from us so far. Please email me directly at w.chapman@garolla.co.uk with your order details and address, and I will work wth the team on a resolution.

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.

Can't fault them

We moved to a property with an extremely broken and tired old garage door. Due to accessibility we desperately needed to have a functioning door. After a tonne of research Garolla came up best, so we went for it.
It was the best decision.
Communication was spot on, installation was flawless and price was spot on for what we asked for.

Wouldn't hesitate recommending this company to anyone else , A* guys.

Shout out to Astin who did a superb job.

Real mixed bag

We had a very mixed experience, which I am sure isn't typical experience. The initial survey and actual installation went well. Nonetheless, we had 3 installations postponed. The 2nd and 3rd were apparently down to issues locating and transporting our door. The 3rd postponement was not communicated with us very well and left us waiting for hours for updates. It took many hours for staff to work out exactly where the issue was. As a result our door was not installed until 9 weeks after the original date, and 14 since the survey. Colleague in the office worked hard to rectify these situations and we are grateful for this, and the necessary discounts applied. And our two installers left a positive final impression. The product itself is very good and we are very happy with this. But the process getting there was not satisfactory and surprising from a company of Garolla's stature. When trying to contact Garolla, waiting times on the phone regularly exceeded 10 mins. Sadly, despite being recommended by a friend, we would not recommend ourselves.

Hi David,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a balanced and detailed review.

I'm pleased to hear that you were happy with the survey process, the final installation, and most importantly, the garage door itself. It's also great to know that the office colleague involved worked hard to support you throughout and that our installers left a positive impression on the day.

That said, it's clear we fell short in several areas. Three postponed installation dates, delays in locating and transporting your door, and poor communication surrounding the final postponement are not the experience we want our customers to have. Waiting hours for updates and ultimately receiving your installation nine weeks later than originally planned would test anyone's patience.

While I'm glad we were able to apply discounts and eventually deliver a product you're happy with, I fully appreciate that this doesn't undo the frustration caused by the delays and communication issues along the way. Your comments regarding our phone wait times are also noted, as we know how important it is for customers to be able to reach us when they need assistance.

Thank you for recognising the efforts of the team members who helped resolve matters, despite the challenges. Feedback such as yours helps us identify where improvements are needed, and I'm sorry that on this occasion we didn't deliver the level of service that matched the quality of the final product.

Kind regards,

Wayne Chapman
