Shutter motor replacement in Preston: the essentials
Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. Some replacement motors have built-in obstacle detection, which adds protection on doors without a safety edge.
Industrial direct-drive motors can be replaced with a matching or compatible unit on most doors. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
Specification options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options
- Limits set and tested
- Smart and timer control options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- 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.

Before you book in Preston
Do you cover Preston?
Yes. Preston (PR1) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Leyland, Chorley and Blackburn.
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 a motor to a different make of shutter?
Usually yes, by matching the motor size and torque to the barrel and curtain.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
