Roller garage door motor replacement in Kettering: questions
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Kettering?
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 Kettering visit date is confirmed in writing.
How much is a visit in Kettering?
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 Kettering as elsewhere we cover.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Kettering?
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 Kettering. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Kettering?
Yes. Kettering is part of the area we cover in Northamptonshire, including NN16, NN15 and NN14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Will my old remotes work with the new motor?
Sometimes. If your existing control box and receiver stay in place and are compatible, your handsets can be paired again. If the receiver has to change, new rolling-code handsets may be needed. We check this before the visit and include any handsets in the price we confirm, so the cost is clear before the day.
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.
