Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Ramsgate
Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.
Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
Features to choose from
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options
- Limits set and tested
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors

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.

Yes. Ramsgate (CT11) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Broadstairs, Margate and Deal.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?

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.
What details help you quote quickly?
