How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for

Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom. 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. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge.

Specification options

  • Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
  • Obstacle detection options
  • Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
  • Motors matched to curtain weight
  • Limits set and tested
  • Smart and timer control options

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Before you book in Bolton

Do you cover Bolton?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bolton. We also cover nearby Farnworth, Westhoughton and Radcliffe.

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.

Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?

Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
