Garage Doors Barnet, London | Garage Door Repair Barnet, London | Roller Shutter Garage Doors Barnet, London

ACE Garage Doors work all over London and are currently working in and around the Barnet area. We really do get an awful lot of enquiries through our website from the Barnet and surrounding area, hardly surprising when you consider the number of cars owned in the London area. The roads around Barnet are getting quite congested, and the situation is made worse by people leaving their cars parked on the road when they could put them away in a garage. Storing your car in a garage not only prevents damage to the painted surfaces by acid rain, bird droppings and other pollutants, it keeps your car safe from potential car thieves and the odd ding from passing motorists. So if you would like to protect your car and keep it safe and secure in a garage, call ACE Garage Doors today.

A new garage door in Barnet

Not only will keeping your car in a garage protect it from all that is undesirable, a new garage door at your Barnet property will make your home look nicer and add value to your property.

Most people think about home improvements inside and out, but very few ever consider how a tatty old garage door detracts from the appeal your property has. Many see a garage as a purely functional addition to a home, but it is actually an extension to your property and deserves to look as good as the rest of your home.

ACE Garage Doors have fitted and continue to service many garage doors in and around the Barnet area. We appreciate what a new garage door can offer a property, both aesthetically and functionally.

History of Barnet

The area covered by the modern borough of Barnet has a long and rich history. Evidence of first-century Roman pottery manufacturing has been found at Brockley Hill and Roman coins from the third and fourth centuries were found at Burnt Oak. Both sites are on the Roman road Watling Street from London, which was named Londinium by the Romans to St Albans, the former Roman Verulamium which now forms the western border of the borough of Barnet.

Nearby Hendon is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, but the districts of Barnet, Edgware and Finchley were not referred to, possibly because these areas were included in other manors at that time.

In 1471 the Battle of Barnet was fought in Monken Hadley, just within the boundary of modern day Barnet. It was here that Yorkist troops led by King Edward IV killed the "Kingmaker" Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick and his brother, John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu.

Barnet is also used as a term for a person's hair in Cockney rhyming slang. Barnet fair is the full term, but true Cockneys rarely use the full term in speech, hence 'Barnet' is used without 'fair' to refer to someone's locks.

The Geography of Barnet

The borough of Barnet covers a group of hills on the northern edge of the London Basin. The bedrock is chalk which is covered with clay. Some of the hills are formed from glacial till deposited at the farthest extent of glaciers during the Anglian glaciation period.

In the north of the borough on the eastern side is Barnet, also known as High Barnet or Chipping Barnet, Totteridge, and Whetstone. In the north on the western side is Edgware and Mill Hill. The central northern part of the borough of Barnet is mostly countryside. This division is largely because the eastern side grew around what is now the High Barnet Underground branch of the Northern line. The western side grew around the Midland Railway and what is now the Edgware branch of the Northern line.

Further south, around the centre of Barnet, the development becomes more intensive around the suburbs of Cricklewood, Colindale, Hendon and Finchley. Golders Green is renowned for its Jewish minority ethnic population and forms part of the south of the borough, along with Hampstead Garden Suburb and Childs Hill.

A good amount of Barnet is within the Metropolitan Green Belt, and it has many parks and open spaces. In addition there are large areas taken over by cemeteries and golf courses, and part of Hampstead Heath, Hampstead Heath Extension and Golders Hill Park. Barnet describes its sixteen main open spaces as 'premier parks', nine of which achieved a Green Flag Award for 2008-2009

The borough of Barnet has sixty seven Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation, eight Local Nature Reserves, and it is jointly responsible with the London Borough of Brent for the Welsh Harp Reservoir, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. These are listed in Nature reserves in Barnet.

The Edgware Road forms the border between Barnet and the boroughs of Brent and Harrow, with an exception being the West Hendon area and part of the Welsh Harp.

Improve your Barnet property with a new garage door

Regardless of what you do to the rest of your Barnet property, if your garage door is old, dented or flaking, your property will not look its best. Not only do new garage doors look good, the security features of modern garage doors are far superior to older ones, which were notoriously easy to break into. Increased security on your garage goes a long way to protecting your car and other belongings, but it will keep your house more secure if the garage is linked to your property like many are. Remember, once an intruder has gained access to your garage, they can work undisturbed and unseen whilst they attempt to break into your house from the inside of your garage, so a new garage door for your Barnet property makes sense all round.
