Shutter motor replacement in Cambridgeshire: the essentials
After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first. Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit.
What's included
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Safety checks on handover
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options
- Motors matched to curtain weight

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.
How it works

Your questions answered
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
How do I know if the motor has failed?
Signs include humming without movement, stopping at random, overheating or not responding at all. The fault can also be the switch, receiver or power, so an engineer checks those first.
Can you fit a motor to a different make of shutter?
Usually yes, by matching the motor size and torque to the barrel and curtain.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
