Garage door motor replacement and upgrades in Slough: common questions

Can you replace any brand?

We can replace most domestic operators with a current unit. Using the existing rail is sometimes possible; often a complete new operator and rail is the better job.

Is it the motor or the door?

A motor that strains, stops or reverses is often struggling with an unbalanced door, a broken spring or a sticking roller. We check the door first, because a new motor on a faulty door will fail again.

What can you choose for your Slough garage?

  • Smart moduleApp control.
  • PhotocellsAdded or replaced.
  • Like-for-like replacementNew operator and rail.

How much does a new garage door motor cost in Slough?

Guide price: £450–£850 inc VAT. We agree the visit price before we come; parts and any further work are priced before we do them.

This is a chargeable visit, priced up front. If parts are needed, you get the price before any further work is done.

Safety points for Slough customers

If a spring has broken, a cable has come off or the door hangs crooked, stop using it, keep people and pets clear and do not try to force it open or closed. Leave the operator unplugged until the engineer has checked it.

If the garage already has a socket near the operator position, no electrical notification is needed. A brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P in England.
