Shutter motor replacement in Sevenoaks: the essentials
Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover.
Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Specification options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Smart and timer control options
- Safety checks on handover
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Limits set and tested

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.

Before you book in Sevenoaks
Do you cover Sevenoaks?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter motor replacement in Sevenoaks and the TN13 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
