Why is my garage door so noisy?
The short answer
The longer answer
A rough guide from the faults we see weekly: grinding points to dry or worn rollers and tracks (£80 to £120 to put right, up to £180 if a track is bent); a sudden bang followed by a very heavy door is a snapped spring (£120 to £280 to replace properly — and never a DIY job); rattling on an automated door is often the operator's chain or force settings.
Noise that appeared recently is the door asking for a service before it asks for a repair. We diagnose most faults inside the first ten minutes on site — see repairs and maintenance for typical costs.
