- A compatible tubular motor is fitted inside your existing barrel and wired to the control box on the wall.
- If your control box or receiver can't work with the new motor, a matching one is quoted before fitting.
- Safety edges and photocells are tested with the new motor, and the closing force is checked before handover.

Roller garage door motor replacement in Altrincham: questions
Do you charge more for Altrincham than other towns in Greater Manchester?
No. Guide prices are the same for Altrincham as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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 cover Altrincham?
Yes. Altrincham is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including WA14, WA15 and M33. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I get a price for Altrincham 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.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Altrincham?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Altrincham and across WA14, WA15 and M33, 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.
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.
