Garage door motor replacement and upgrades in Corby: common questions

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 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.

  • Like-for-like replacementNew operator and rail.

How much does a new garage door motor cost in Corby?

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.

Safety points for Corby 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 Corby 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.

Will a new motor be quieter?

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