If another company has quoted you to repair or replace a commercial door, shutter or gate, NW Automatic Doors will give you a free, no-obligation second opinion. And here’s what many people miss: if you already have a maintenance or PPM contract elsewhere, it usually only covers the annual servicing — not repairs — so you’re typically free to get a second opinion and have us carry out the work, without affecting that contract.
Urgent and non-urgent routes are kept separate, so a site-down call can stay focused on getting safe and operational.
Why get a second opinion
- A repair is sometimes quoted as a full, costly replacement
- A clear, honest diagnosis can cut the price significantly
- You get a local, in-house engineer’s view — not a sales pitch
- Already under contract elsewhere? You can usually still choose your repairer
- No pressure — keep your current supplier if you’d rather
- Peace of mind that you’re not overpaying for the work
How it works
- Send us the quote, the fault and a few photos
- We review it and, if useful, arrange a quick site look
- You get an honest opinion and a clear like-for-like price
- You decide — no obligation, no pressure either way
Already under a maintenance contract? You can still choose your repairer
This is the bit worth knowing: a maintenance or PPM contract usually only commits you to the planned servicing — not to repairs or emergency call-outs. So even if another company services your doors, you’re normally free to get a second opinion and have us carry out the actual repair, without breaking your agreement. It’s always worth checking your own terms, but most maintenance contracts don’t tie you in for breakdowns. And with us it works the same way — our maintenance customers are only committed to the annual service, never to repairs.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
Is the second opinion really free?
Yes. Reviewing your quote and giving you our honest view costs nothing and comes with no obligation whatsoever. If you’d like us to carry out the work we’ll give you a clear, itemised price — but you’re completely free to stay with your current supplier. There’s no catch and no hard sell.
I already have a maintenance contract with another company — can I still use you for a repair?
Usually, yes. Most maintenance and PPM contracts only cover the planned servicing, not repairs or emergency call-outs, so you’re typically free to choose who fixes a breakdown. It’s worth checking your own terms, but a maintenance agreement rarely obliges you to use that provider for repairs — so you can get a free second opinion from us and, if you’re happy, have us carry out the work.
Are we tied in if we use you for a repair?
No. Even our maintenance-contract customers are tied only to the annual servicing, never to call-outs or repairs. You’re always free to get quotes elsewhere, ask for a second opinion, or choose another contractor for any individual job. We’d rather earn your repeat business than lock you into it.
What do you need to give a second opinion?
Just the quote you’ve been given, a short description of the fault, and a few photos of the door, shutter or gate if you can take them safely. That’s usually enough for our engineers to sense-check the diagnosis and the price. If we need a closer look, we’ll arrange a quick, no-obligation site visit.
Will you just tell me what I want to hear to win the job?
No — the opposite. Sometimes we confirm the original quote is fair, and we’ll say so plainly. Our value is an honest, in-house engineer’s opinion, not a sales pitch, which is exactly why customers trust us and leave 5.0★ reviews. If a repair genuinely needs doing, we’ll tell you straight.
Do you cover my type of door or shutter?
Very likely. We give second opinions on automatic doors, roller and security shutters, fire shutters, gates and barriers of every major brand. Whether it’s a repair-versus-replace decision or a price that simply feels high, our North Wales engineers can review it and tell you where you stand.
