An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Scotland, but electrical work must meet BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards where it forms part of building work.
Roller garage door motor replacement in Oban: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Oban?
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 Oban. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can I get a price for Oban 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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Oban?
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 Oban visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you charge more for Oban?
Possibly. The door and visit guide prices are the same as elsewhere, but travel to Oban is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises on the day.
Does a new motor change how the manual override works?
It can. Different motors use different override arrangements, such as an internal crank or a winding handle. The engineer shows you how the override on your new motor works before leaving, and you should keep the handle somewhere you can find it in the dark. Our power-cut guide explains how overrides work in general.
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.
