Choosing shutter motor replacement for premises in Lancaster
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.
We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door. Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early.
What's included
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Smart and timer control options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Obstacle detection options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Lancaster?
Yes. Lancaster (LA1) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.
Can I add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
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.
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 outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
