Roller garage door motor replacement in Falmouth
When a roller door motor fails in Falmouth, the rest of the door may still be worth keeping. We'll check that for homes in Cornwall, and tell you plainly if worn guides, laths or a barrel mean a new door would make more sense.

What should I know about roller garage door motor replacement in Falmouth?
- Remotes and keypads are paired again after the motor is fitted, and each one is tested at the door.
- A compatible tubular motor is fitted inside your existing barrel and wired to the control box on the wall.
- Where the cause of a stopped door is unclear, a diagnostic repair visit comes first, before any motor is ordered.
- If your control box or receiver can't work with the new motor, a matching one is quoted before fitting.
How does it work in Falmouth?
We confirm the motor price, or a diagnostic visit if the cause isn't clear. The visit is booked once an engineer and the right motor are available, and the date is confirmed in writing.

Rules that apply in Falmouth
Powered door safety
Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.
Roller garage door motor replacement in Falmouth: 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Falmouth?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Falmouth. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Falmouth?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Falmouth and across TR11 and TR10, 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.
Can I get a price for Falmouth without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
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.
Should I replace the motor or the whole door?
Replace the motor when the rest of the door is sound: the curtain runs straight, the laths are undamaged, and the guides and barrel are in good order. If several major parts are worn, or the door has other recurring faults, a new door may be better value. The engineer will tell you plainly what they find.
