What material is your Tunbridge Wells garage door made of?
Empire can repair and maintain garage doors made from timber, steel and GRP fibreglass. Each material has its own requirements:
Timber Garage Door Maintenance
Woods commonly used are solid cedar and marine ply, which are usually environmentally FSC sourced. Your wooden garage door will need to be maintained throughout the years as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
This will involve re-treating with a recommended preservative, to prevent rot and discolouration.
GRP Fibreglass Garage Door Repair
Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) may be the ideal answer if you can't be bothered with the maintenance and care that other door types need.
Strong yet durable, these garage doors are listed as "maintenance-free", although marks may need cleaning with warm soapy water.
ABS Garage Door Issues
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic doors are impact resistant, easy to clean and carry a long manufacturer's guarantee.
Any damage to ABS can be cleaned and sanded, however cracks and breaks will need further work from a garage door repair company, such as Empire.

Most commonly asked questions about Tunbridge Wells garage door maintenance
The problem is either due to a blocked path between the sensors, dirty eyes, loose wires at the sensors or at the motor head, or just bad sensors. The transmitters (remotes) will not work to close the garage door in these cases.
Generally it’s not possible to repair a cracked garage door. Cracks are usually due to metal fatigue – once the integrity of the door is compromised, the only good solution is a replacement garage door.
There is nothing safe about DIY garage door repair. When things go wrong, they do more than just make the job a bigger headache. You can put yourself and others at risk if the door comes crashing down or a part malfunctions. Therefore, you should leave garage door repair to the experts.
NEVER attempt to adjust garage door springs yourself. These are under tension and need specialist equipment to make safe repairs.
Most garage doors last between 15 and 30 years, though really it depends on the door, you and your environment. The lifespan of your garage door is determined by a variety of factors, including: Usage: The type of springs you have determines how many open/close cycles your garage is good for
When the garage door is lowered, the springs gain tension. When raising the garage door, tension is released and the spring assists with the lifting. It’s important to note, your garage door springs have the most tension when the garage door is closed. As a result, most garage door springs break when the door is down.
The most common cause of an uneven garage door is worn out cables that sag, so checks to make sure your cables are still in good condition. If not, you may need to call a professional to replace them.
