Specialists in Up & Over Garage Doors
Up-and-over garage doors are simple and reliable, but they require proper balance to operate safely.
If that balance is off, the door can become heavy, difficult to lift, or unsafe to use.
We properly diagnose faults and carry out repairs to restore your door’s correct operation.
What We Fix
We repair all common up-and-over garage door faults, including:
- Spring and balance issues
- Worn or snapped cables
- Doors off track or misaligned
- Faulty lifting arms and mechanisms
- Locking and handle problems
- General wear and mechanical faults
If your door isn’t working as it should, we’ll identify the issue and fix it properly.

10 Most Common Up & Over Door Problems
We regularly attend callouts for:
1. Door too heavy to lift
2. Door won’t stay open
3. Broken or weakened springs
4. Snapped or worn cables
5. Door dropped or come off track
6. Uneven or jerky movement
7. Noisy operation
8. Faulty lifting arms
9. Lock or handle not working
10. General wear causing unreliable operation
Many of these issues develop gradually and could often be avoided with regular servicing.
