Garage door motor replacement and upgrades in Melksham: what to expect
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.
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 Melksham?

Safety points for Melksham 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.
