How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.
A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Features to choose from
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Safety checks on handover
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Smart and timer control options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors

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.

Shutter motor replacement: common questions
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
