Shutter motor replacement in Newton Abbot: the essentials
Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.
Options we can specify
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Limits set and tested
- Obstacle detection options
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Smart and timer control options

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 Newton Abbot?
Yes. Newton Abbot (TQ12) is within our Devon coverage, along with nearby Torquay, Paignton and Exmouth.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
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.
