Roller garage door motor replacement in Wick
A motor that hums, cuts out or won't turn the barrel isn't always the motor at fault. For homes in Wick and elsewhere in the Highlands, Moray and Islands, we can diagnose the problem first, then quote for a new motor only if it's needed. Travel to Wick is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything.

What should I know about roller garage door motor replacement in Wick?
- The open and closed limits are set after fitting, so the door stops fully open and fully closed.
- Where the cause of a stopped door is unclear, a diagnostic repair visit comes first, before any motor is ordered.
- Motors are matched to your barrel size and curtain weight, not just to the space inside the roller box.
- The engineer shows you how the manual override works on your new motor before handing the door back.
How does it work in Wick?
We confirm the motor price, or a diagnostic visit if the cause isn't clear. The visit is booked once an engineer and the right motor are available, and the date is confirmed in writing.

Rules that apply in Wick
Powered door safety
Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.
Electrics
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 Wick: questions
Do you charge more for Wick?
Possibly. The door and visit guide prices are the same as elsewhere, but travel to Wick is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises on the day.
How much is a visit in Wick?
Prices for roller garage door motor replacement start from £395 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Wick are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.
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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Wick?
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 Wick visit date is confirmed in writing.
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.
Should I replace the motor or the whole door?
Replace the motor when the rest of the door is sound: the curtain runs straight, the laths are undamaged, and the guides and barrel are in good order. If several major parts are worn, or the door has other recurring faults, a new door may be better value. The engineer will tell you plainly what they find.
