Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Walkden
After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover. 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. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
Options we can specify
- Obstacle detection options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Smart and timer control options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Limits set and tested
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades

Rules in England

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Walkden?
Yes. Walkden (M28) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Farnworth, Swinton and Tyldesley.
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.

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.
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.
