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 Clacton-on-Sea?
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.
