Garage door spring replacement in South Yorkshire
For a spring replacement in South Yorkshire, from Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley and beyond, tell us the fault and we will confirm the visit price first.
Garage door spring replacement is the job of removing a broken or tired spring from a sectional door, whether a torsion spring on the shaft above the opening or a tension spring running alongside the tracks, fitting a correctly sized new spring and setting it so the door is balanced again. Springs hold a lot of stored energy, so this is a job for trained engineers with the right tools.

Garage door spring replacement in South Yorkshire: what to expect
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.
Torsion or tension: which does my door have?
Look above the opening. A steel shaft running across the head of the door with one or two coiled springs on it means torsion springs. If the springs run front to back beside the horizontal tracks, or sit in the vertical side frames, the door uses tension springs. Many standard domestic doors use tension springs; larger, heavier and timber doors and doors with a pass door usually use torsion springs.
Which options can you choose?
- Correct sizingMatched to door weight.
- Single or pairReplace one or both springs.
