Garage door motor replacement and upgrades in Tonbridge: common questions
What does setting up involve?
Open and close limits, force limits, soft start and stop, photocell tests and the emergency release are all set and checked, then handsets are coded.
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.

How much does a new garage door motor cost in Tonbridge?
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 Tonbridge?
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 Tonbridge customers
Can a motor be fitted to an old up-and-over door?
Operators exist for some up-and-over doors, but this site covers sectional doors. Many customers find replacing the door is better value.

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