Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Taunton: common questions
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.
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.

What does a sectional door service cost in Taunton?
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 Taunton?
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.
