Thatcham sits just east of Newbury and has grown steadily with modern family housing over the past two decades. The Kennet Heath and Dunstan Park estates are typical of the newer Thatcham developments: well-built family homes with integral single garages and standard-width openings. Many of these came with basic uninsulated steel up-and-over doors that rattle in the wind and offer little protection against the cold. We have replaced hundreds of these across Thatcham with insulated roller and sectional doors that are quieter, warmer and far more secure. The older part of Thatcham around the Broadway and the nature reserve has a scattering of period properties and bungalows with wider-than-standard openings that require careful measurement. Thatcham is thirty minutes from Reading along the A4, and we usually combine visits here with Newbury work to keep travel costs shared. The town's strong community spirit means word-of-mouth recommendations do well, and many of our Thatcham installations come through neighbours recommending us after seeing the finished result next door.

Garage door repairs in Thatcham

We repair most makes and models in Thatcham, including doors we did not fit: roller, sectional, up-and-over and side-hinged. Every repair carries our 5 year parts and labour guarantee.

What we repair

  • Broken torsion or extension springs, replaced as pairs to match tension
  • Snapped, frayed or slack lift cables
  • Worn rollers, bent tracks and noisy running
  • Failed or intermittent electric openers, including Hörmann SupraMatic, LiftMaster and Somfy
  • Lost or faulty remote controls, re-paired to the opener
  • Doors that will not open, close or lock
  • Lock faults and lost keys, with new keys supplied
  • Dented panels, and perished seals letting in draughts

Safety first

If the door is crooked, has a loose cable or appears to have a broken spring, stop using it. Do not pull the manual release or try to lift it; keep clear and arrange an inspection. Springs and cables stay under tension, so they are never a DIY job.

Read what to do next: broken spring, snapped cable, door will not open, remote not working.
