Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Tewkesbury: what to expect

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.

Why test the force settings?

A powered door that closes too hard can hurt someone. Testing the force limits and reversal is one of the most important parts of a service.

Safety points for Tewkesbury 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.
