Figtree in particular
What we see on Figtree doors
Because Figtree blocks so often fall away from the street, water runs at the garage door rather than away from it. The visible symptom is usually water under the door, but the mechanical symptom is safety beams knocked out of alignment by debris, rusted track feet, and a bottom seal that has been squashed flat on one side and left with a 20mm gap on the other. Fixing the seal without fixing the fall just buys a season.
Common Figtree garage door problems
- Uneven slabs across the opening leaving a gap at one end of the bottom seal while the other end is crushed
- Photoelectric safety beams knocked out of alignment by driveway run-off and garden debris
- Double sectional doors on wider Figtree openings running a single spring where two were specified

Broken Garage Door Springs
A broken spring is the single most common reason a garage door stops working, and it is the one repair you should never attempt yourself.

Lift cables carry the entire weight of the door between the spring and the bottom bracket, and they fail from the inside where you cannot see it.

Most openers we are called to are not actually faulty. They are healthy motors fighting a door that has gone out of balance.
Read moreGarage Door Will Not Open or Close
A door stuck open is a security problem and a door stuck closed usually means the car is trapped. Either way this is the call we prioritise.
Read moreRoller Door Repairs
Roller doors have fewer parts than sectional doors, which makes them simple to own and more consequential when the one part that matters fails.

Some garage door problems can wait until Tuesday. A door stuck open, a door damaged in a break-in, or a business that cannot lock up cannot.
Read moreRoller Garage Doors
The roller door is the workhorse of the Illawarra: fewer parts, less space needed, and a shape that fits garages built long before anyone designed for a sectional track.
Read morePanel Lift & Sectional Garage Doors
If you want the garage door to actually look like part of the house rather than a hole in the front of it, this is the door type that gives you the options.
Read moreAutomatic Garage Doors & Openers
An opener is only as good as the door underneath it, which is why we test the door before we ever talk about the motor.
Read moreCommercial Garage Doors & Roller Shutters
Commercial doors get specified on cycles and load, not on catalogue size. Getting that wrong is why some businesses replace a motor every two years.

Figtree garage door questions
Water keeps running under my Figtree garage door. Can a new seal fix it?
A new bottom seal will fix a worn seal, but it will not fix a driveway that falls towards the garage. If the slab is uneven across the opening we can fit a taller bulb seal or a threshold seal bonded to the slab, which handles a surprising amount of water. Where the fall is severe the real fix is a drainage grate outside the door, and we will say so rather than sell you a seal that will fail again next storm.
