Shutter motor replacement in Broadstairs: the essentials

A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter. 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. Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit.

Features to choose from

  • Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
  • Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
  • Safety checks on handover
  • Smart and timer control options
  • Obstacle detection options
  • Motors matched to curtain weight

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.

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 Broadstairs

Do you cover Broadstairs?

Yes. Broadstairs (CT10) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Ramsgate, Margate and Deal.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
