The company's innovative glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) garage door skin can be attached to existing garage doors, enhancing their appearance and saving customers money.

Demand for the service is high, and Garage Door Restore is now taking on more appointed agents throughout the UK.

Former mechanic Javid Iqbal launched his Bolton-based Garage Door Restore business three weeks ago.

He said: “I’d been made redundant, needed a fresh start, and this opportunity seemed ideal. There are so many homes with garage doors that need updating, but in the current climate people don’t have the money to spend on a brand new door. Garage Door Restore offers them an affordable solution, so the potential market is huge.”

The business opportunity is suitable for anyone with reasonable DIY skills. The technique is easy to learn and full training and support are provided.

Mr Iqbal added: “My workload is already picking up, mainly through word of mouth, so when I launch my official local marketing campaign I anticipate being very busy and eventually taking on staff. Ultimately I would like to expand and take on a second business area.”
