Questions from Walkden customers

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.

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.

Yes. We cover Walkden, including postcode districts BL4, M27, M28, M29, M30, M38. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.

How soon can an engineer get to Walkden?
