- Skandoor removed our 2 single garage doors and replaced them with a double sectional door in 6 hours.
Shot from inside our conservatory to avoid dust, resulting in unwanted reflections.

Good seeing a team keeping the work area clean & tidy as they progress.
Great team work. It’s nice to see workmen clearing up after themselves. Good job lads. Top marks 👍🏾
Nice work. It amazes me how many ppl get so accustomed to not wearing any gloves and more importantly safety glasses. Mind boggling how little regard people have for their eyes in particular. One wrong move or spark, etc and blind forever.
absolutely incredible! i don't know the first thing about installing garage doors but i can still tell these guys are very skilled. beautiful job
Good video. That opens up the garage a lot.
Have never seen such fast workers! Incredible!
Not seen work men that fast since the 1920s
Good team work, good job, good result. 👍🏻
First class job. Really well-done.
This is what exactly i was looking for i will be doing this very shortly to my new purchase house i almost didn't buy it cause i didn't think it was possible cause ive never seen it done but now im extremely happy and love the results
Same, I have two small doors currently and would like create one large opening.
No pad stones no motor bed no anti corrosion paint no building regs. Nice
You don't need building regs for that.
Don't know if there are engineering calculations, but the point loads at the ends of the new much heavier header are more than doubled. Accelerated differential settlement of the building corners would be best case.
Very neat, just one thing a few safety glasses would be on my list as I was up the hospital a few times until the penny dropped and the guy at the clinic had a bit of a word abt my eyes.
Highly impressed with the attention to PPE, Hats off to you (literally) No gloves , no ear defenders. I guess as on a private property you are not required. Had this been a commercial premises you would be breaching all kinds of H+S rules. Ok it is your hearing and fingers that will suffer. Otherwise a good job.
What do you need ear defenders for on this job
@@leedstown Er, all the power tools they were using?
@@leedstownYou must have never worked on masonry.
Not to mention the NHS that will be paying for their treatment when they get shrapnel in their eyes.
Einwandfreie Teamarbeit, sehr saubere Arbeit, mit 4 Leuten geht so ein Projekt einfach besser. TOLL gemacht. 100% TOP
Man goes to his doctor and asks for an examination for a health insurance policy.
The doctor checks him out and says: "Well apart from a crushed toe, vibration white finger, that glass eye and emphysema you're fine, did you by any chance work on replacing garage doors back in 2023?"
The man says: "What?"
Doctor: "Oh, and you need a hearing aid."
My Dad did this type of hard and dirty work day in and day out for over 70 years in the garage door business. Dust, asbestos, fiberglass , whatever chemicals. No safety glasses, no face coverings, non insulated power tools. Mud, snow standing across the top steps of a 14 foot A-frame ladder. Retired at 91 because he tore ligaments in his right ankle getting it caught under the ottoman at home. 94 years old and still healthy as someone half his age, just has to walk with cane now. Parents married 72 going on 73 years.
@@Fedup10710 Pleased to hear that and long may he continue to enjoy good health but, I would suggest, the exception rather than the general rule?
He and the people he worked with were the rule. Knew at least ten men like him. My dad has lived longer because he never drank alcohol and smoked tobacco.
Why was this NOT built like the after result in the first place?!?!? The resulting double sectional door makes the space USEFUL. I can't figure why people don't build things right the first time! No matter, you got what you need done. I love this video. I was just wanting to see how this gets done.
I want to do the opposite someday. A few years ago a spring broke on my double and I was trapped with both cars inside. Can't lift the double with a bad spring, a single I could have. Plus, a sinlge can use extension springs found at all the home stores.
Why not just proactively replace the springs ever 5-6 years?
That's my plan, has to be professionally done at about $300-$400.

Welding would have been the smarter and cheaper idea. And of course not wearing masks with all of that dust just goes to show that Darwin is still spot on.
Watch the video. Looked a neat job.. only problem. I have with it. Is the lack of ppe...you can't see the damage. They have recieved from the dust in their lungs. And it will come back to get them eventually...
Very impressed with your video and your workers skill levels. Could you please tell me the size of the beam they used to span the opening, its thickness, hight and the width of opening.
It would not matter what beam he used. The I beam is specifically selected by the engineering firm, to support the load of his garage. A beam for your house / garage would be different.
Great job guys
PPE ? Dust, Eye protection, Hearing defenders. Comes back to bite your health in the end.
Did you mean PPE? But you're quite right - at work I would have insisted the contractors wore necessary PPE - but I'm not obliged to do so at home.
@@timbishop4063 oops,,,,bad spelling day
Was thinkin same not even boots
Old boy i worked with used to say you can walk with a wooden leg but you cartnt see with a glass eye
It’s never a good thing to see lads working in casual clothes, trainers etc and with no goggles, ear defenders/masks,boots,gloves…. Or even scaffolding. Can’t think why my comments seem to fall on deaf ears when somebody is saving a few Bob 😉
It's a garage door not knocking down a 10 storey mill
Good God! The lack of PPE utilization by this crew, in this day and age, is unconscionable and inexcusable.
I'm glad you got that off your chest. Lighten up, try to enjoy your own life and stop critising others! Haven't you noticed how many boring people have already commented on this subject.
@@timbishop4063yes but theres still so many new descriptive words left to use😁
That’ll be 50 grand mate. Chi-ching!
Sur deux points d appui en brique ,le DTU exige 70 cm de repos ,sauf s il y a un poteau béton de chaque côté ,surtout vu la portée de l IPE.
Entreprise contentieuse il vont jusqu'à nettoyer les gravier au balais franchement !!👍👍
Not a dust mask or pair of goggles amongst em
I feel like this is an obvious question but didn't see it answered in the comments. How do you know it was structurally safe to remove that brick pillar in the middle?
The brick pillar was supporting the ends of the original 2 light weight beams - one for each gap - you saw them being removed. A survey calculated how heavy duty the single beam needed to be - it looks pretty strong to me though I wasn't involved in the calculation. One pessimistic commentator suggests it will all collapse - I promise to upload a new video if he proves to be right. Anyway, my glass is half full!
@@timbishop4063 Thanks for the info
Why? What advantage to move to a single door were the vehicles to wide for the standard door?
You dont use a pickup much do you? The extra elbow room is very nice.
All that dust and noise and no Eye, Ear or breathing protection.
Nice touch 👌…. Did mine in a weekend, I had the headers over the door put back as personally I think it looks better than nasty white plastic 🤮
The door was electric which finished it off nicely.
Mask gloves, defenders wet cutter should be used all the time doesn’t matter where you are
If this is England, I wonder how many days' work there is in these 7 minutes😂😂😂
That job would take less than 2 hours due to the 4-5 workmen on site.
what was the height difference of the 2 i-beams
Nice info.
Top work
new trim has no nail heads to rust over time :-)
Hi looks great! in the process of planning out mine. Could I ask what is the size of the new door and what size rsj was used. Thanks
I don't think you can
Sorry for the delay - probably too late now, but here's the info you requested.
The door is 4.85m wide and the rsj overhangs by 13cm at each end (difficult to measure the rsj directly).
Obviously not in this case. I think it's just easier to build a wide garage with a central support.
The original doors are cheap up and over type where the replacement double door is a sectional door which is much higher quality, insulated and allows more space behind the door.
Looks expensive. How much?
Great to be able to watch the process, thank you. Who carried out the work?
Skandoor in Hampshire
Where was this now eh?
I made the uninformed mistake only once with the dinky pair of garage doors. My detached 28x30 garage has an 18' door on each end.
That tape measure is getting a work out.
The wind was blowing.😊
Yes...I do want a two car garage.
Amazing, would love to get this done. Could I get an idea of cost please ?
Oh dear! you're not going to like this - £5800
A lot of that cost was due to it being a sectional door rather than roller.
I think a roller door would have been about 1k less.
@@timbishop4063 holy moly
That's a very reasonable price!
What is the cost in USD?
@@Arts-ck8gj $7220
Look managers and teenagers with digital jobs..........real professionals
How much does something like this cost ? And where are you based . Garage is 19.5 X 22.5 and has 2 single doors but i want a roller double door
5.5k. A roller door costs less but you lose some entrance height.
@@timbishop4063 where are you based
@@mrmajestic345what are you talking about
They put a steel beam in.
Looked like a 203x133x 37
You do not what your on about.
No sag at all.
It’s taking the load from the trusses which carry the roof tiles.
The udl is distributed over the complete area.
Minimal deflection.
You talk rubbish
Wonder what the chances of any of them men getting silicosis are .??? Working with all that brick dust all day and not at least one dust mask between them. Also knocking down buildings and not one hard hat???.
is any kind of planning permission required for this? thanks
I didn't need any. I can't imagine why you would need planning permission.
@@timbishop4063 thanks
@@timbishop4063commies dictate how you breathe here.
Are the walls in this garage
one brick or two
One
Good grief, this is something I would like done to my garage but it wouldn't take 6 hours but more like 6 weeks.
In 7 Minuten? Oder dauert das Video 7 Minuten 😅?
Looks good
How much does a job like that cost?
It was about £5000 (UK)
@@timbishop4063Not at all. £3k max.
No water drainage right in front of the garage door ?
There's a drain just off screen to the left on the driveway. There's a slight slope down towards this.

I really appreciate the positive comments like yours - unfortunately my video has attracted a multitude of armchair HSE officers with nothing better to do than trawl through RUclips looking for things to complain about - it's actually quite amusing :)
How would I know if my sectional garage need a header?
Engineer. If there is a post, it's to reduce span, allow lighter header. Removing pot doubles the span, so heavier header.
I’ve done this to my garage, be careful what type of door you fit as some take up more room inside and you may not get your car in.
How much does this cost to do as a rough guide?
About £5000. It would be a lot cheaper for a roll up door rather than a sectional door like mine. A sectional door will hugely outlast a roll-up.
No wind posts, wallplate missing, Padstones missing, not a screw or nail in sight everything just glued on, Health & safety non existent, nice door colour though

You obviously don’t work in the trade
30 years mate as a structural engineer and health and safety executive
It seems to be working very well without wind posts, wallplates or padstones - whatever any of those are? I bet 99% of garage doors don't have them.
40 years in the North Sea being bugged by over zealous safety executives - and they're still bugging me in retirement - despair!!!!
@@timbishop4063 Don't knock Health and Safety - at my last company before retiring we had a poster in the crew rest room that said just that:
DON'T KNOCK HEALTH AND SAFETY,
THE LIFE AND LIMBS IT SAVES MIGHT BE YOURS!
With traveling time and a break i could do 8 of these a day at 5k per job , noice
And no garage at all when the roof collapses !
Was that an I-beam or angle iron?
I-beam
Exactly! VW California
How much to convert?
5K. A roller door would be much cheaper than this sectional door.
Bravo 😊
Just me I would kept the two doors
Probably not just you, but I suspect you're in a small minority. And I guess you haven't got a campervan in your garage?
The whole process looks sketchy af
Only if you don’t know what you’re doing
2 singles is better than a double
Good welder could have plated and bolted would have saved a fortune.
2 single door garages bigger than 1 double door garages. am i wrong ?
Suprised at ony 3 acros
UK
How in the hell do you pick that color green garage door 🤮
Anyone else see a 2 man job site with 4 men on it? 🤔
Show us how to do it right then.
I’m sure you have your reasons, but at that price I would’ve just bulldozed the whole thing and upgraded to a larger garage while at it. Looks like the smallest option possible for a double garage lol, but that’s coming from a North American, and someone who would use it for vehicles., which not many people seem to do nowadays for some reason lol
Check the prices in the UK
Je zeg je....watte ...doof😂
It was better before.
This Garage is made american way....made of paper mache....😅😅😅
How much did you charge for this project? Probably more than the garage itself 🤣
Beam me up scottie
All your profit went on silicone and trim!😂😂😂😂
😅😅sorry aber der Träger ist ein Witz. Ca 5.5m lichtes Maß.
