Shutter motor replacement in Stanley: the essentials
Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. 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. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
Specification options
- Obstacle detection options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Safety checks on handover
- Smart and timer control options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters

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.

Shutter motor replacement: common questions
Do you cover Stanley?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Stanley. We also cover nearby Chester-le-Street, Consett and Gateshead.
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.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
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.
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.
