How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
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.
Options we can specify
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Limits set and tested
- Smart and timer control options
- Obstacle detection options
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Safety checks on handover

Rules in England
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
Do you cover Harwich?
Yes. Harwich (CO12) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Felixstowe, Ipswich and Clacton-on-Sea.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
