What does a new garage door motor involve in Wednesbury?

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.

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.

Which options are available in Wednesbury?

  • PhotocellsAdded or replaced.
  • Belt drive upgradeQuieter running.
  • Manual-to-electric conversionWith safety set-up.
  • Like-for-like replacementNew operator and rail.

What does a new garage door motor cost in Wednesbury?

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 Wednesbury?

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.
