What does a new garage door motor involve in Antrim?

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.

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.

What does a new garage door motor cost in Antrim?

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.

Repair and service visits are chargeable. We agree the visit price before we come and quote any parts before fitting them.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Antrim?

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.

Northern Ireland has no Part P equivalent, but electrical work for an operator should still be done to BS 7671 and certified.
