What does a remote or smart opener upgrade cost in Cardiff?

Guide price: £150–£300 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 Cardiff 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.

A garage door fitted with an operator counts as a machine under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, whether it is at home or at work. Whoever puts the complete powered door into service must check it against BS EN 12453, including measuring closing forces with a calibrated meter, and issue a Declaration of Conformity and apply UKCA or CE marking (CE marking in Northern Ireland). That includes motorising an existing manual door, which is why a conversion is always set up and tested as a new powered door.
