How to hire a garage door repair pro in Ireland
- Identify the door type — up-and-over doors dominate Irish stock, with sectionals growing
- Check reviews and ask for public liability insurance
- Get spring/cone and cable repairs priced as standard jobs
- For electric doors, confirm safety-edge/force testing after repair
- Ask about spares for common brands (Hörmann, Garador)
- Get a written quote with VAT
Powered doors must meet EU machinery safety requirements (safety edges, force limits); the repair trade is unlicensed. Ireland's damp climate makes cable rust and cone wear the routine failures on older up-and-over doors.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dented garage door panel be replaced without a new door?
Often yes — sectional door panels are replaceable individually if the model is still made. Older or discontinued doors may force a full replacement, and a car-impact door needs its tracks and frame checked too. Get the model tag details before calling to speed up the quote.
How much does garage door repair cost?
Most repairs are call-out jobs: spring, cable and roller replacements sit at the low-to-mid range, opener (motor) repairs or replacement mid-range, and panel or track damage from vehicle impact at the top. Full door replacement is quoted separately per door size and material.
Is it dangerous to fix a garage door spring myself?
Yes — genuinely. Torsion springs store enough energy to cause serious injury when unwound incorrectly, and they're the single most common cause of garage-door DIY accidents. Spring replacement is cheap professional work; there is no good reason to DIY it.
Should I replace both springs when one breaks?
On a two-spring door, yes — springs wear together, and the surviving spring is usually near the end of its rated cycles. Replacing both in one visit costs little more than one and avoids a second call-out within months. High-cycle springs are worth the small premium for busy doors.
Why is my garage door noisy or shaking?
Worn rollers, loose hardware and dry hinges cause most rattles — an annual service (tighten, lubricate, balance-check) fixes them cheaply. Grinding or jerky travel points at track alignment or a failing opener drive. Noise on the way up plus a heavy-feeling door means the springs are losing tension.
What does garage door servicing include and is it worth it?
A service covers spring tension and balance, cable and roller condition, track alignment, hardware tightening, lubrication and opener safety tests (auto-reverse). Annually serviced doors break far less and their openers last longer — it's the cheapest insurance this trade sells.
What does garage door repair cost in Ireland?
Spring/cone and cable repairs typically run €100-220; opener replacement €300-550 fitted; a new single up-and-over door €700-1,400 installed.
