A motor that hums, cuts out or won't turn the barrel isn't always the motor at fault. For homes in Alloa and elsewhere in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire, we can diagnose the problem first, then quote for a new motor only if it's needed.

Roller garage door motor replacement in Alloa: questions
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 Alloa?
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 Alloa. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Alloa?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Alloa and across FK10, FK12 and FK13, 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 Alloa?
Yes. Alloa is part of the area we cover in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire, including FK10, FK12 and FK13. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
