Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Fareham: common questions
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.
How often should a door be serviced?
For a powered door used every day, once a year is sensible. A lightly used manual door can go longer, though we would not leave it more than two years. Commercial doors that open many times a day need more frequent visits.

What does a sectional door service cost in Fareham?
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.
You will know the visit price before we book. Any parts or extra work are quoted and agreed with you first.
What should you do until the engineer arrives in Fareham?
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.
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.
