The steel tip-up, mostly

Ottery is single garages with steel tip-ups from the seventies and eighties, which are the simplest doors there are and fail in the simplest ways: the pivot springs lose tension and the door gets heavy, the bearings squeak and drag, the panel takes a bumper dent that is cosmetic unless it is at a bracket. A spring pair and a set of bearings is a morning, and the door is good for another decade. Where the door is still manual, automation in place is a small job on a driveway with room for the swing.

Remotes and the second car

A second remote for a new driver, or a receiver that has stopped listening on an older motor, is the other common call, and it is sorted at the door for any of the usual brands.

Getting here

Ottery is off the M5 and quick to reach. Wynberg, Plumstead and Lansdowne share the routes, and an emergency is at the fast end of the range.

Questions we get asked

My steel tip-up has become very heavy. Is it the motor?

It is the pivot springs losing tension. A spring pair and bearings is a morning's work and it is far cheaper than the motor that gets burnt out lifting a heavy door.

Can my manual door be automated?

Yes, on an Ottery driveway with room for the swing. Springs renewed first, then a motor designed for a swinging panel.

How quickly can you reach Ottery?

Quickly — off the M5.
