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.”

Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Garage door jobs across Sydney

Sydney's garages are as mixed as its suburbs. Paddington's rear lanes are lined with garage doors behind the terraces, the Camden area in the south-west grew faster than any other Australian council area in the year to June 2021, and plenty of homes in between have a roller door on a carport or shed. The ABS counted 55.8% of occupied homes in Greater Sydney as separate houses at the 2021 Census, and 30.7% as flats or apartments.

Tell us which job you have: a new or custom door, a replacement, an opener or motor, a repair or service, or an automatic gate. Add your postcode, and the job goes to a door specialist who works in that area and takes on that kind of work.

Custom garage doors in Sydney

Some houses want a door that blends into the facade instead of standing out. Steel-Line's Custom Collection includes a Flush Mount door clad in the homeowner's choice of cladding, Western Red Cedar timber doors, and aluminium composite doors that it describes as lightweight and weather-resistant.

B&D makes Sheer Panel sectional doors in aluminium composite for a metallic look or acrylic for a glossy one, and offers a Knotwood timber-look finish on its architectural sectional doors. With any custom front, ask whether the opener being quoted is rated for the finished door.

What NSW rules say about door work

Legal Aid NSW says that installing or maintaining fixed apparatus for moving things along fixed guides, such as garage doors, is not home building work. It says the written contract rule for home building work over $5,000, and the Home Building Compensation insurance needed over $20,000, apply to home building work, which by its reading leaves garage doors out.

The Australian Consumer Law still covers every job. A service you pay for must be done with care and skill, and what you buy must match what the ad or the salesperson promised, so get a written quote that names the door, the opener and the finish.

Openers and wiring in NSW

Under the NSW definition, something plugged into a power point is not part of the electrical installation, so an opener that plugs into an existing point near the ceiling is simple. A new power point or any hard wiring is electrical wiring work, which in NSW needs a licence whatever the job is worth.

A licensed electrician does that part and submits a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). NSW Fair Trading says that unless you are qualified, you should never wire any part of your property or install, replace or move power points. You can look up any NSW licence on Service NSW's licence check, by name, licence number, ABN or suburb.

Around Sydney

Bushland edges

Each Sydney council maps the bush fire prone land in its own area. Check a property with the NSW RFS online tool, by asking council, or on its Section 10.7 planning certificate.

Hail and storms

The April 1999 hailstorm significantly damaged about 24,000 houses, and the December 2018 storm brought 30,738 residential building claims. After a big storm, look over the garage door as well as the roof.

The west in summer

NSW Planning says western Sydney averages 15.4 days over 35°C a year and runs 6 to 10°C hotter than the east in extreme heat. B&D says insulation helps keep a garage cooler in summer.

By the water

From Manly to Mona Vale and down to Cronulla, salt is the enemy. Steel-Line says rust usually shows first on the hinges, springs and tracks.

What we would do

Check your address on the RFS bush fire prone land tool before you choose a new door. If the property is mapped, ask the door specialist how the door they suggest suits its Bushfire Attack Level, because the BAL assessment and the building surveyor set the rules for each home.

Questions people ask

Is garage door work home building work in NSW?

Legal Aid NSW says it is not: garage doors are among the fixed apparatus moving along fixed guides that it lists outside home building work. Wiring is a separate matter, and a new power point or hard wiring needs a licensed electrician.

Do you cover all of Sydney?

Your suburb decides that. Give your postcode with the job and we offer it to door specialists who work around you, from the Hills to the Shire.

Where can I check if my place is bush fire prone?

The NSW RFS has an online check, your council can show you its map, and the property's Section 10.7 planning certificate says so too.
