Door repair

“My garage door was totally buckled and busted due to a malfunction. I thought I was looking at a full replacement. [The technician] came out and did a fantastic job, fully taking apart and putting back together the original door. Runs better than it did before mind you. Really happy with the service and price.”

Garage doors in Newcastle: what to know before you call

From the harbour and the beaches out to the Hunter

Garage door installation in Newcastle

A new garage door usually comes with a bigger change: a renovation, a new build, or an old door that no longer closes square. Around Newcastle you will find all the common types, from roller doors on carports and older brick homes to sectional doors that lift up and lie along the ceiling.

Tell us the door and the job: a new door, a replacement, an opener, a repair or a gate. It goes to a door specialist who covers your side of the city, from the inner suburbs out to Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Port Stephens.

Choosing a garage door company in Newcastle

A few questions sort out most door businesses quickly. Start with power: if there is no power point near the ceiling, ask who puts one in, because any new wiring in NSW is work for a licensed electrician, and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) has to be submitted for it.

Then ask which brand they fit and what its warranty asks of you. B&D's warranty, for example, depends on a first service inside 12 months and another at least every two years after that. Steel-Line's warranty leaves out installations within 800 metres of the sea, which matters in plenty of Newcastle streets.

Under the Australian Consumer Law, a service you pay for has to be done with care and skill, and anything a salesperson or an ad promises about the door has to be true.

How NSW treats garage door work

New South Wales has no separate licence for garage doors. Legal Aid NSW says installing or maintaining a fixed apparatus that moves things along fixed guides, a garage door included, is not home building work.

That definition is what the home building rules hang on. The NSW Government says a contractor licence is needed for residential building work worth more than $5000, and Legal Aid NSW says jobs over $5,000 need a written contract and jobs over $20,000 need Home Building Compensation insurance. On Legal Aid NSW's reading, a door-only job sits outside those rules.

Wiring is different. The NSW Government says any electrical wiring work needs a licence or certificate, whatever the job is worth. An opener that plugs into a power point already on the ceiling is not part of the electrical installation, but a new power point or a hard-wired opener is, and a licensed electrician does that part.

Around Newcastle

East coast storms

In the April 2015 East Coast Low, gusts reached 135 km/h at Newcastle, the highest ever recorded in NSW in April. After a blow like that, look for a door sitting crooked in its tracks, and stop using it if it is.

Sand and salt

AIDR says the June 2007 storm, the one that left a bulk carrier aground on Nobbys Beach, blew beach sand over 100 metres inland. Steel-Line says salt water and sand can corrode a garage door, so homes near the beaches need their tracks kept clean.

Bushland edges

City of Newcastle and the neighbouring Hunter councils map bush fire prone land with the NSW Rural Fire Service. Check a property with the RFS online tool or on its Section 10.7 planning certificate before you choose a new door.

Handy to have when the door specialist calls

  • The door type: roller, sectional or tilt
  • Roughly how wide the opening is, and whether it is a single or double garage
  • If you want a motor, whether the garage ceiling already has a power point
  • The brand and age of the door you have now, if you know them

What we would do

If you live within a short walk of the beach or the harbour, ask how the maker's warranty treats your address before you pick a door. Some warranties leave out homes close to salt water, and that is far better to learn at the quote than at the first rust spot.

Questions people ask

Do garage door companies in Newcastle need a licence?

Not for the door itself, on Legal Aid NSW's reading of the home building rules. Any new wiring for an opener is another matter: it needs a licensed electrician.
