Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Cornwall

Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. 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. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.

Options we can specify

  • Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
  • Motors matched to curtain weight
  • Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
  • Obstacle detection options
  • Limits set and tested
  • Safety checks on handover

Covering Cornwall

We cover Cornwall from Truro to Falmouth, St Austell and Truro, with 6 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

Do I need a new key switch too?

Not always. If the switch works and is compatible, it can stay. Worn or weather-damaged switches are often replaced at the same time.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
