Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Maidstone: common questions
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 service include?
A visual and hands-on check of every moving part, tightening of fixings, lubrication of hinges, roller bearings and springs, a balance test, adjustment of cables, seal checks, and a test of force limits, auto-reverse, photocells and the manual release.

How much does a sectional door service cost in Maidstone?
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 Maidstone?
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.

Questions from Maidstone 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.
Do you cover Maidstone?
Yes. We cover Maidstone, including postcode districts ME14, ME15, ME16. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
How soon can an engineer get to Maidstone?
We give you the earliest date available when you get in touch. Dates depend on engineer availability in Kent, and we never advertise a 24/7 service.
