Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Hitchin
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.
Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Features to choose from
- Safety checks on handover
- Obstacle detection options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Limits set and tested
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Motors matched to curtain weight

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
Describe the fault
Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.
Engineer visit
An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.
Fixed repair price
You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.
Tested and reported
Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
Before you book in Hitchin
Do you cover Hitchin?
Yes. Hitchin (SG4) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Luton.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
