Cable, roller and track repairs in Altrincham: 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.

Can these parts be replaced without a new door?

Yes. Cables, rollers, bottom brackets, hinges and tracks are all replaceable parts.

What does a cable or roller repair cost in Altrincham?

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 Altrincham?

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.
