How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Limits are set on installation so the curtain stops at the right point at the top and bottom. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover. A motor that hums but does not turn, overheats or stops at random may need replacing, though controls are checked first.
Specification options
- Obstacle detection options
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Safety checks on handover
- Smart and timer control options

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 Southport?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Southport. We also cover nearby Formby, Lytham St Annes and Ormskirk.
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 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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
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.
