Shutter motor replacement in Canterbury: the essentials
We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge.
A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.
Specification options
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Safety checks on handover
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Obstacle detection options
- Smart and timer control options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades

Covering Canterbury and nearby
Jobs in Canterbury are planned as part of our Kent coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.
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 Canterbury
Do you cover Canterbury?
Yes. Canterbury (CT1) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
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.
