What does a new garage door motor cost in Leigh?
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.

Safety points for Leigh 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.
