We charge £88.00 + VAT to come out to your property to carry out a repair, we charge for parts and labour on top of this price so you might end up paying a bit more for the repair than just the call out charge.

Open the door fully and prop it with a pair of mole grips near the rollers to stop it closing by itself. Loosen the old spring and fit the new spring. Then check it is balanced, when the door is balanced it will not close by itself, it will hold it’s position at about half way.
There should be instructions supplied with the parts but if not here is a summary. Close the door, if the door is wonky and jammed the fastest way to close it is to cut the cables and it should close quite quickly unless you have a safety device. If you have a safety device you can use a flat head screwdriver to unlock it and gradually lower it. It will need to be done each side in turn until its closed. Then knock out the pins and replace the cones and then tension the spring back up using a 3 or 4mm allen key depending on the door make, you will need tension bars and it easier with a set of mole grips.
The price varies depending on the size of your opening, whether it is a standard size and if you need a new frame or not. This is why we offer a free no obligation quote by one of our surveyors / fitters. You can get an idea of what we charge by visiting the Garage Doors section in our online shop.
As above basically, the prices vary considerably by Manufacturer, however there are one man bands out there offering very cheap door from as little as £999 or less, we recommend you stay away from them however, because they are here today, gone tomorrow.

For a single door you would expect to pay £1600 to £2000 and for a double around £2800 to £3300 roughly.

This comes up more often than you may think! To disconnect the door you will pull the toggle located on the boom “trolley”.
