Cable, roller and track repairs in South Glamorgan
For a cable or roller repair in South Glamorgan, from Cardiff, Barry, Penarth and Llantwit Major 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 South Glamorgan: what to expect
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.
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 can you choose?
- RollersReplace worn or broken rollers.
- Track realignmentStraighten or replace tracks.
- Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.
- Bottom bracketsReplace damaged brackets.

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.
