Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Gravesend

Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.

Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.

What's included

  • Obstacle detection options
  • Limits set and tested
  • Motors matched to curtain weight
  • Smart and timer control options
  • Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
  • Safety checks on handover

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 Gravesend

Do you cover Gravesend?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Gravesend. We also cover nearby Grays, Strood and South Ockendon.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
