Cable, roller and track repairs in South Ockendon: what to expect

Why do rollers wear?

Nylon and steel rollers wear with use and dirt. Worn rollers make the door noisy and rough, and broken rollers can let a section leave the track.

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.

Which options are available in South Ockendon?

  • RollersReplace worn or broken rollers.
  • Bottom bracketsReplace damaged brackets.
  • Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.
  • Track realignmentStraighten or replace tracks.

What does a cable or roller repair cost in South Ockendon?

Guide price: £120–£280 inc VAT. We agree the visit price before we come; parts and any further work are priced before we do them.

You will know the visit price before we book. Any parts or extra work are quoted and agreed with you first.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in South Ockendon?

Until the visit, avoid using a door that is noisy, crooked or heavy. If it is stuck open and you need to secure the garage, call us first; forcing a door with a broken spring or cable is dangerous.

Questions from South Ockendon customers

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.

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.
