Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Braintree
Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.
Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.
Features to choose from
- Obstacle detection options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Smart and timer control options
- Limits set and tested
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Safety checks on handover

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.

Before you book in Braintree
Do you cover Braintree?
Yes. Braintree (CM7) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Witham, Chelmsford and Maldon.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
