Roller garage door motor replacement in Aberdeen: questions
Will you fix the door on the first visit?
A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.
Do you charge more for Aberdeen than other towns in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Aberdeen as for anywhere else we cover in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
How much is a visit in Aberdeen?
Prices for roller garage door motor replacement start from £395 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Aberdeen as elsewhere we cover.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Aberdeen?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Aberdeen and across AB11, AB25 and AB10, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.
Why does my roller door motor hum but not move?
A humming motor that doesn't turn the barrel can mean the motor has failed, but it can also point to an obstruction, a curtain jammed in the guides or a fault in the control box. Stop pressing the button, keep clear of the door and don't force the curtain. A repair visit diagnoses the cause before any parts are quoted.
Does a new motor change how the manual override works?
It can. Different motors use different override arrangements, such as an internal crank or a winding handle. The engineer shows you how the override on your new motor works before leaving, and you should keep the handle somewhere you can find it in the dark. Our power-cut guide explains how overrides work in general.
