Floor spring repairs Greater Manchester

A photo of the cover plate and door often identifies a floor spring fault, which can save your Greater Manchester shop a diagnostic visit. Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in Greater Manchester and across the North West can arrange the work outside trading hours.

What do we fix in Greater Manchester?

Hold-open not holdingMany floor springs can hold a door open at a set angle. When that stops working, the mechanism is usually worn.

Leaking hydraulic oilOil under the cover plate usually means the sealed unit has failed. It normally needs replacing rather than topping up.

Worn top pivot or patchTop pivots, bottom straps and patch fittings wear alongside the spring, so we check them while the door is off.

How much does it cost in Greater Manchester?

As a guide, allow £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. Where the make cannot be identified, a charged diagnostic visit to your premises in Greater Manchester or the North West confirms it, and we tell you the cost first. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.

Can a leaking floor spring be repaired?

Usually not. A leaking floor spring is normally replaced, because the hydraulic unit is sealed and its seals are not a routine site repair. The cement box can often stay. If the box is corroded or the make is no longer available, we explain the options.

Will a new floor spring fit my existing box?

Often yes, if the box and spindle match the replacement. Many makes share similar sizes, but not all do, so we check the dimensions first. Where they differ, an adapter or a new box may be needed, and a new box means opening up the floor.

Do floor springs suit fire doors?

Some do, but only models tested for the purpose and fitted as part of a tested door set. Fire doors need a closing device of at least power size EN 3 under BS EN 1154. Never swap the closer on a fire door without checking its certification.
