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.

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Dronfield?
Yes. Dronfield (S18) is within our Derbyshire coverage, along with nearby Chesterfield, Sheffield and Staveley.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
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.
