How much is a visit in Skelmersdale?
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 Skelmersdale as elsewhere we cover.
My roller door is stuck part-way. What should I do?
Stop pressing the button, keep people and cars clear of the opening, and don't walk or drive under the door. Check the power and the photocells, and look for debris in the guide rails. If that doesn't help, switch the door off at the isolator and request a visit rather than forcing the curtain or opening the roller box.
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.
