- 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.
- A compatible tubular motor is fitted inside your existing barrel and wired to the control box on the wall.

Rules that apply in Leicester
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 Leicester: questions
How much is a visit in Leicester?
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 Leicester as elsewhere we cover.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Leicester?
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 Leicester visit date is confirmed in writing.
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 Leicester?
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 Leicester. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
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.
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.
