What should I know about roller garage door motor replacement in Truro?
- Motors are matched to your barrel size and curtain weight, not just to the space inside the roller box.
- The open and closed limits are set after fitting, so the door stops fully open and fully closed.
- Safety edges and photocells are tested with the new motor, and the closing force is checked before handover.
- The engineer shows you how the manual override works on your new motor before handing the door back.

Rules that apply in Truro
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 Truro: questions
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Truro?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Truro and across TR1, 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.
How much is a visit in Truro?
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 Truro as elsewhere we cover.
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 Truro than other towns in Cornwall?
No. Guide prices are the same for Truro as for anywhere else we cover in Cornwall. 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.
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.
Will my old remotes work with the new motor?
Sometimes. If your existing control box and receiver stay in place and are compatible, your handsets can be paired again. If the receiver has to change, new rolling-code handsets may be needed. We check this before the visit and include any handsets in the price we confirm, so the cost is clear before the day.
