How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge.
Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover.
What's included
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Safety checks on handover
- Limits set and tested
- Obstacle detection options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Bournemouth?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bournemouth. We also cover nearby Christchurch, Poole and New Milton.
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.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
