How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.
We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Specification options
- Obstacle detection options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Limits set and tested

Rules in Scotland
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.

Before you book in Stranraer
Do you cover Stranraer?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter motor replacement in Stranraer and the DG9 district, as part of our coverage across Dumfries & Galloway.
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 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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
