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. Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors.
Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
What's included
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Obstacle detection options
- Limits set and tested
- Safety checks on handover
- Smart and timer control options

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Bow?
Yes. Bow (E3) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Stratford (London), Canary Wharf and Canning Town.
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.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
