When a roller door motor fails in Dudley, the rest of the door may still be worth keeping. We'll check that for homes in the West Midlands, 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 Dudley?
- A compatible tubular motor is fitted inside your existing barrel and wired to the control box on the wall.
- Safety edges and photocells are tested with the new motor, and the closing force is checked before handover.
- Remotes and keypads are paired again after the motor is fitted, and each one is tested at the door.
- Motors are matched to your barrel size and curtain weight, not just to the space inside the roller box.

Rules that apply in Dudley
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 Dudley: questions
Do you charge more for Dudley than other towns in the West Midlands?
No. Guide prices are the same for Dudley as for anywhere else we cover in the West Midlands. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Dudley?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Dudley and across DY1, DY2 and DY5, 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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Dudley?
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 Dudley 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.
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.
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.
