How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Smart and timer controls can be added when the motor is replaced. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
Options we can specify
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Safety checks on handover
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Obstacle detection options
- Limits set and tested

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.

Before you book in Nelson
Do you cover Nelson?
Yes. Nelson (BB9) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Colne, Burnley and Accrington.
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.
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 add remote control when the motor is replaced?
Yes, many replacement motors and controllers support remotes, timers or app control.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
What warranty do I get?
