Roller garage door motor replacement in Borehamwood: questions
Do you cover Borehamwood?

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Borehamwood?
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 Borehamwood visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you charge more for Borehamwood than other towns in Hertfordshire?
No. Guide prices are the same for Borehamwood as for anywhere else we cover in Hertfordshire. 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Borehamwood?
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 Borehamwood. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply 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.
