Common garage door problems in Wakefield
Heavy doors and worn springs
Steel up and over doors on newer estates often start to feel heavy after 10 to 15 years as the springs wear. We replace and re-tension them so the door lifts easily again.
Doors hanging crooked
If one side drops or the door jams half open, a cable or pivot arm has usually failed. Stop using it, and we will replace the parts and re-balance the door.
Going electric
An integral garage you use every day is ideal for an electric door. We fit openers to suitable up and over doors, and repair existing motors and remotes.

Garage doors in Wakefield homes
Wakefield has a real mix of homes: stone and brick terraces near the centre, 1930s to 1970s semis with detached or attached garages, and newer estates around Wrenthorpe, Outwood and Normanton with integral garages.
Many of the newer homes were built with steel up and over doors. After 10 to 15 years of daily use, their springs, cables and locks start to wear, and that is one of the most common repairs we do. If you use an integral garage as a utility room, gym or workshop, an insulated sectional door keeps the space warmer and is easy to make electric.

My new-build garage door has become heavy and hard to lift. What is wrong?
It is usually a worn or broken spring, or the door needs re-tensioning. Stop using it and call us: springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if released by hand.
Can you make my existing up and over door electric?
Often, yes. Retractable up and over doors are the easiest to convert. We will check your door and tell you honestly whether a conversion or a new electric door is the better option.

Yes. Every quote is free and comes with no obligation, and we do not believe in the hard sell.
