Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Somerset
We carry out sectional door service visits for sectional doors across Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and Yeovil. The visit price is agreed before we come.
A sectional garage door service is a planned visit to inspect, adjust, lubricate and safety-test a sectional door and its operator, including the springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, seals, force settings, photocells and emergency release. Servicing catches wear before it becomes a breakdown and keeps a powered door safe.

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

Safety points for customers in Somerset
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.
