What to know about shutter motor replacement in Torquay

Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.

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.

What's included

  • Safety checks on handover
  • Motors matched to curtain weight
  • Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
  • Obstacle detection options
  • 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.

Shutter motor replacement: common questions

Do you cover Torquay?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Torquay. We also cover nearby Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exmouth.

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 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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
