Glenavy repair questions, answered
Q.Will you re-balance the door after the repair?
Always. Half of repeat call-outs we see in Glenavy are from someone replacing a part but never re-balancing — we don't leave until it lifts true.
Q.Broken spring — how much in Glenavy?
A standard torsion spring replacement on a detached housing starts around £140–£190 fitted, depending on door size and spring type.
Q.What if my door is beyond economic repair?
We'll tell you on the visit. Most Glenavy doors over 25 years old are cheaper to replace than to keep fixing — we'll show the maths.
Q.How fast can you reach Glenavy for an emergency?
From Dromore (15 miles), we aim for under two hours into Glenavy during working hours; a same-day window is standard.
Q.Do you carry parts on the van?
Yes — common springs, cables, drums and a universal motor live on every van, so most Glenavy repairs are first-visit fixes.
Q.Can my motor be repaired or do I need a new one?
Older motors can usually be re-cabled or have boards swapped; we'll quote both repair and replacement honestly.
