Roller garage door motor replacement in Bournemouth
A motor that hums, cuts out or won't turn the barrel isn't always the motor at fault. For homes in Bournemouth and elsewhere in Dorset, we can diagnose the problem first, then quote for a new motor only if it's needed.

Rules that apply in Bournemouth
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 Bournemouth: 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.
How much is a visit in Bournemouth?
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 Bournemouth as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Bournemouth?
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 Bournemouth. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Bournemouth?
Yes. Bournemouth is part of the area we cover in Dorset, including BH2, BH4 and BH1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
