How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.
Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover.
Features to choose from
- Obstacle detection options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Safety checks on handover
- Smart and timer control options
- Motors matched to curtain weight

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 Eltham?
Yes. Eltham (SE9) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Blackheath, Welling and Catford.
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
