What to know about shutter motor replacement in Durham

We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.

Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom. 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
  • Limits set and tested
  • Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
  • Safety checks on handover
  • Smart and timer control options
  • Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters

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.

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.

Questions about shutter motor replacement in Durham

Do you cover Durham?

Yes. Durham (DH1) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
