Garage door spring replacement in Hertford: common questions

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.

Does the spring need to match the door?

Yes. The spring is sized to the door weight, the drum or pulley and the track layout, so wire size, length and diameter matter. We identify the right spring before fitting.

Which options are available in Hertford?

  • 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.
  • Correct sizingMatched to door weight.

How much does a spring replacement cost in Hertford?

Guide price: £180–£380 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 Hertford?

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.
