What does a sectional door service involve in Wigston?

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.

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.

What can you choose for your Wigston garage?

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

What does a sectional door service cost in Wigston?

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.

Repair and service visits are chargeable. We agree the visit price before we come and quote any parts before fitting them.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Wigston?

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.

Questions from Wigston 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.
