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. 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. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Features to choose from
- Obstacle detection options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Smart and timer control options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Safety checks on handover
- Motors matched to curtain weight

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 Gainsborough
Do you cover Gainsborough?
Yes. Gainsborough (DN21) is within our Lincolnshire coverage, along with nearby Retford, Scunthorpe and Worksop.
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 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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
