Roller garage door motor replacement in Chatham
A motor that hums, cuts out or won't turn the barrel isn't always the motor at fault. For homes in Chatham and elsewhere in Kent, we can diagnose the problem first, then quote for a new motor only if it's needed.

What should I know about roller garage door motor replacement in Chatham?
- Remotes and keypads are paired again after the motor is fitted, and each one is tested at the door.
- 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.
- Where the cause of a stopped door is unclear, a diagnostic repair visit comes first, before any motor is ordered.

Rules that apply in Chatham
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. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.
Roller garage door motor replacement in Chatham: questions
Do you cover Chatham?
Yes. Chatham is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME4, ME7 and ME1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
How much is a visit in Chatham?
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 Chatham as elsewhere we cover.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Chatham?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Chatham and across ME4, ME7 and ME1, 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.
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.
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.
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.
