Mr Morris called Summit Cladding when he kept having problems with his door getting damaged from wet weather conditions. When we arrived at Mr Morris’ home in N12 we could see that the best way to prevent further damage was to install a door canopy. We did this and then matched up the existing guttering on the front bay. We also added spotlights to the canopy. What do you think of this door canopy installation?
