- The open and closed limits are set after fitting, so the door stops fully open and fully closed.
- The engineer shows you how the manual override works on your new motor before handing the door back.

Roller garage door motor replacement in Swinton: 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Swinton?
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 Swinton. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Swinton?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Swinton and across M27, M30 and M28, 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.
Do you charge more for Swinton than other towns in Greater Manchester?
No. Guide prices are the same for Swinton 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.
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.
