What to know about shutter motor replacement in Edinburgh & the Lothians

Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom. Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced.

Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover.

What's included

  • Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
  • Smart and timer control options
  • Safety checks on handover
  • Motors matched to curtain weight
  • Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
  • Obstacle detection options

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Before you book in Edinburgh & the Lothians

Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?

Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.

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 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.
