What does a sectional door service involve in Edinburgh?

Will you tell me if something is wearing out?

Yes. You get a short report of what we checked, what we adjusted and anything that needs attention soon, with a price before any extra work.

Is servicing worth it on a newer door?

Yes. Early servicing keeps the door balanced, which protects the springs and the operator, and it may be a condition of some warranties.

  • Annual serviceOne visit a year.
  • Lubrication and adjustmentHinges, rollers, springs and cables.
  • Written reportWhat was done and what is wearing.
  • Safety testForce, reversal, photocells and release.

How much does a sectional door service cost in Edinburgh?

Guide price: £95–£150 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 Edinburgh?

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.

Questions from Edinburgh customers

Can I do anything between services?

Yes. Test the auto-reverse with a soft object monthly, keep the tracks clean and dry, and watch for frayed cables. Leave springs and cables to engineers.

Do I need to service an electric garage door?

It is strongly recommended. Safety devices drift and wear, and only testing shows whether they still work.
