What should I know about roller garage door servicing in Hitchin?
- The safety edge and photocells are tested so the door stops or reverses when something is in its path.
- Several doors on a private garage court or block of lock-ups can be priced together before booking.
- The curtain is checked for dented, split or slipping laths, and the bottom rail and seal for wear.
- On manual doors, the engineer checks the spring balance and bottom-rail locks so the curtain lifts and locks properly.

Rules that apply in Hitchin
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 servicing in Hitchin: questions
Can I get a price for Hitchin 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.
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 Hitchin?
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 Hitchin. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Do you cover Hitchin?
Yes. Hitchin is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including SG5 and SG4. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Do you service roller doors you didn't fit?
Yes. We service electric and manual roller garage doors of any make, whoever fitted them. Tell us whether the door is electric or manual and the make if you know it, and we'll confirm the service price before anyone comes out. We don't service sectional or up-and-over doors.
Should I oil my roller garage door?
Not unless the manufacturer's instructions say so. Many roller doors use a dry or silicone lubricant, if any at all, and the guide rails are usually best kept clean and dry. During a service, the engineer uses only the product type the manufacturer specifies for your door.
