What does a spring replacement involve in Wigan?

Why is spring work not DIY?

Springs store a lot of energy. Winding a torsion spring needs proper winding bars, and releasing tension carelessly can cause serious injury or let the door fall. Please do not attempt it.

Should both springs be replaced?

Where a door has two springs, they have done the same number of cycles, so when one breaks the other is often close behind. Replacing both together, and checking the cables at the same time, is usually better value than a second visit.

What can you choose for your Wigan garage?

  • Correct sizingMatched to door weight.
  • Rebalance and cable checkDoor set to stay part-open; cables checked at the same time.
  • Torsion or tensionBoth spring systems covered.
  • Single or pairReplace one or both springs.

How much does a spring replacement cost in Wigan?

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 Wigan?

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.
