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 Consett: questions
How much is a visit in Consett?
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 Consett as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Consett?
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 Consett. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you charge more for Consett than other towns in County Durham?
No. Guide prices are the same for Consett as for anywhere else we cover in County Durham. 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.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Consett?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Consett and across DH8, 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 you replace the motor on any make of roller door?
We replace tubular motors on electric roller garage doors of any make, provided a compatible motor is available for the barrel size and curtain weight. Send us details of the control box and the door size and we'll confirm before booking. If a matching motor isn't available, we'll explain the options, including a new control box or a new door.
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.
