Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in County Antrim
Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge.
Specification options
- Safety checks on handover
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options
- Smart and timer control options

Rules in Northern Ireland
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, by a qualified electrician. Northern Ireland has its own building regulations, and any building control requirement for the work is confirmed with your council.

Shutter motor replacement: common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
