Doors that are hard to lift

A door that has become heavy usually has worn or broken springs. We replace and re-tension them so it opens easily again.

White electric roller garage door on a brick garage

Easy-to-use garage doors

Thirsk and Sowerby have a mix of older brick and stone houses, bungalows and newer estates, with rural homes and outbuildings in the villages around them. For many of our customers, the priority is a door that is light, reliable and easy to open.

An electric door opens at the press of a button from the car or the house, so there is no heavy lifting and no stepping out in the rain. We fit new electric roller and sectional doors and add openers to suitable up and over doors.

How our repair service works

01

Call your local number

Tell us what the door is doing. A photo or short video on WhatsApp helps us bring the right parts.

02

We inspect the door

Our engineer checks the springs, cables, tracks, rollers and opener to find the cause, not just the symptom.

03

Fixed, or a clear quote

We repair it there and then where we can. If parts need ordering or a new door is the better option, you get a free quote with no obligation.

More than repairs

As well as garage door repairs, we supply and fit new doors in Thirsk: up and over, sectional, roller and electric garage doors. If your door is past repairing, see garage door replacement.
