Roller garage door motor replacement in Kelso
When a roller door motor fails in Kelso, the rest of the door may still be worth keeping. We'll check that for homes in the Scottish Borders, and tell you plainly if worn guides, laths or a barrel mean a new door would make more sense.

What should I know about roller garage door motor replacement in Kelso?
- The engineer shows you how the manual override works on your new motor before handing the door back.
- The open and closed limits are set after fitting, so the door stops fully open and fully closed.
- Remotes and keypads are paired again after the motor is fitted, and each one is tested at the door.
- Where the cause of a stopped door is unclear, a diagnostic repair visit comes first, before any motor is ordered.

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 Kelso: questions
How much is a visit in Kelso?
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 Kelso as elsewhere we cover.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Kelso?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Kelso and across TD5, 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.
Do you cover Kelso?
Yes. Kelso is part of the area we cover in the Scottish Borders, including TD5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I get a price for Kelso without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
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.
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.
