What does a new garage door motor involve in Bolton?

Can I get app control?

Many current operators offer app control through a module or built-in Wi-Fi. We can fit and set it up as part of the job.

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.

Safety points for Bolton customers

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.

Operators normally run from a switched fused spur; adding one to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, but a new circuit falls under Part P.

Questions from Bolton customers

Will a new motor be quieter?

A belt-driven operator on a well-balanced door is usually much quieter than an older chain drive.

Can a motor be fitted to an old up-and-over door?
