How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Key switches, wall switches, receivers and remotes can be replaced or upgraded at the same visit. Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors.
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.
Features to choose from
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Safety checks on handover
- Obstacle detection options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters

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.

Shutter motor replacement: common questions
Do you cover Tunbridge Wells?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Tunbridge Wells. We also cover nearby Tonbridge, Crowborough and Sevenoaks.
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 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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
