How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. 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. Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom.
What's included
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Safety checks on handover
- Smart and timer control options
- Limits set and tested
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors

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 Ilford
Do you cover Ilford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ilford. We also cover nearby Barking, Becontree and Leytonstone.
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.
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 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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
