What should I know about roller garage door motor replacement in Canning Town?
- If your control box or receiver can't work with the new motor, a matching one is quoted before fitting.
- A compatible tubular motor is fitted inside your existing barrel and wired to the control box on the wall.
- 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.

How much is a visit in Canning Town?
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 Canning Town as elsewhere we cover.

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 Canning Town visit date is confirmed in writing.
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.
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.
