What does a cable or roller repair involve in Leicester?

How do you stop it happening again?

Regular servicing catches fraying cables and worn rollers before they fail. Keeping tracks clean and not lubricating them with heavy grease helps too.

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.

Which options are available in Leicester?

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

What does a cable or roller repair cost in Leicester?

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 Leicester?

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.
