Cable, roller and track repairs in Berkshire
For a cable or roller repair in Berkshire, from Reading, Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead and beyond, tell us the fault and we will confirm the visit price first.
Cable, roller and track repairs fix the parts that guide and lift a sectional garage door: the steel lift cables on each side, the bottom brackets they fix to, the rollers that run in the tracks, and the tracks themselves. Faults here cause a door to run crooked, jam, grind or drop on one side.

Cable, roller and track repairs in Berkshire: what to expect
What does a snapped or slack cable look like?
The door hangs lower on one side, may jam part-way, or the cable is visibly loose or off its drum above the door. Stop using the door: a cable fault can let the door twist or fall.
What knocks tracks out of line?
A car nudging the door, settling of the building, or loose fixings can bend or shift a track. Misaligned tracks make the door bind and strain the operator.
Can these parts be replaced without a new door?
Yes. Cables, rollers, bottom brackets, hinges and tracks are all replaceable parts.
Which options can you choose?
- Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.
- Track realignmentStraighten or replace tracks.
- Bottom bracketsReplace damaged brackets.
- RollersReplace worn or broken rollers.

Should I oil the tracks?
No. Clean them and keep them dry. Light lubricant goes on hinges, roller bearings and springs, not the inside of the tracks.

As a guide, a cable replacement visit is around £120–£280, depending on the door and what else needs attention.
My door is crooked. Can I still open it?
No. A crooked door usually means a cable or roller fault. Keep clear and book a visit.
