How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for

Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit.

Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.

Features to choose from

  • Limits set and tested
  • Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
  • Safety checks on handover
  • Obstacle detection options
  • Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
  • 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

  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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover St Albans?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter motor replacement in St Albans and the AL1 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.

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.

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.

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.

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.
