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

- If your control box or receiver can't work with the new motor, a matching one is quoted before fitting.
- Motors are matched to your barrel size and curtain weight, not just to the space inside the roller box.

Rules that apply in Plymouth
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 Plymouth: questions
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Plymouth?
If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Plymouth visit date is confirmed in writing.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Plymouth?
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 Plymouth. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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 Plymouth than other towns in Devon?
No. Guide prices are the same for Plymouth as for anywhere else we cover in Devon. 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.
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.
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.
