- Clear stones, leaves or debris from the bottom of the guide rails with the door switched off at the isolator.

Stuck roller garage door repair in Portsmouth: 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.
Do you cover Portsmouth?

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Portsmouth?
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 Portsmouth. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
How much is a visit in Portsmouth?
Prices for stuck roller garage door repair start from £119 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 Portsmouth as elsewhere we cover.
Why will my roller door open but not close?
A door that opens but won't close often points to the safety devices. Dirty, blocked or misaligned photocells, or a damaged safety edge, tell the door something is in the way. Wipe the photocell lenses and check the beam is clear. If it still won't close, request a visit, and never bypass the safety devices.
Is it safe to adjust the springs on my manual roller door?
No. The springs inside the barrel of a manual roller door hold stored energy to balance the curtain, and they can release suddenly if disturbed. Adjusting or releasing them needs the right tools and training. If a manual door has become heavy, drops on its own or won't stay up, stop using it and request a visit.
