What to know about shutter motor replacement in Falmouth
Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.
Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
Features to choose from
- Obstacle detection options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Safety checks on handover
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Motors matched to curtain weight

Covering Falmouth and nearby
Falmouth sits in Cornwall, roughly 8 miles from Truro. Whether the job is in the TR11 district or nearby Redruth, Camborne and Newquay, the survey and quote work the same way.
Rules in England
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
Describe the fault
Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.
Engineer visit
An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.
Fixed repair price
You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Before you book in Falmouth
Do you cover Falmouth?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Falmouth. We also cover nearby Redruth, Camborne and Newquay.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
