Roller Door Servicing

We are often asked whether roller doors need servicing and if so what servicing and maintenance needs carrying out. Your Roller door is designed to be as low maintenance as possible, so very little servicing is required.

There are some simple measures that you should take to keep the roller door working smoothly and to prolong the life of your roller garage door.

How to service your roller door

Time needed: 1 hour

What is involved in roller door servicing?

  1. Check for Obstructions

    When operating your roller door, make sure there are no objects causing an obstruction and watch the door close and open fully.

  2. Clean with Warm Soapy Water

    Regularly clean the curtain of the roller garage door with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, as you would your car paintwork. Your window cleaner may also be able to include your roller door when cleaning the windows at your home.

  3. Clear the Guide Runners

    Ensure the guide runners are kept clear of debris and obstructions, such as stones, leaves and twigs.

  4. Replace the Batteries

    Check the remotes and any sensors are working correctly and replace any batteries as needed.

  5. Check Opening and Closing Limits

    From time to time check that the door is stopping in the correct position. When open, one slat should remain in the guide runners, rather than in the roll box. When closed, the door slats should be compressed together but not so much as to strain the motor or locking straps.

  6. Check Wiring is Secure

    When servicing it’s also a good idea to check that any cables connecting the door to the control box or any sensors is still secured and not damaged in any way.

  7. Wipe Sensors

    If your roller door is fitted with photocells or optical sensors, give the sensors a gentle wipe with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

Great service from Sam from start to finish.
Sam came in person (which is rare nowadays) to take the measurements. We received the quote by email on the same day. We are very happy with the service we received and the quality of the door.

Absolutely fantastic service, very friendly and professional. I was provided with several options to build a package and price to suit my budget and it was the best quote I had received. However I would have chose this company regardless due to the detailed information and non pushy sales approach.
Doors fitted within a day and left clean and tidy ready to go.

Thanks again

Fantastic company.

Wanted to use a local independent company for my garage doors. Had been to the usual franchise companies and it was ok but felt like a production line.

These guys were so knowledgeable, helpful and attention to detail was second to none.

I’ll admit they were slightly more expensive than the franchise but literally only a by a small amount and I felt that was fair for the high level of service.

The job was done in less than a day and they left everything neat and tidy and gave me a lesson on the workings etc.

Highly recommend!
