Garage door motor replacement and upgrades in Wishaw: common questions
What about adding a motor to a manual door?
Converting a manual sectional door to powered operation is possible if the door is suitable and in good order. The converted door must be checked and set up to the powered door safety requirements, with photocells where needed.
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 Wishaw?
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.
This is a chargeable visit, priced up front. If parts are needed, you get the price before any further work is done.
What should you do until the engineer arrives in Wishaw?
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.
Scotland has no Part P, but the socket or spur for an operator should be installed and certified to BS 7671.
