What to know about shutter motor replacement in Essex

Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.

Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.

Options we can specify

Limits set and tested
Motors matched to curtain weight
Obstacle detection options
Safety checks on handover
Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
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.

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

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
