Shutter motor replacement in Newtown: the essentials
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.
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
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Safety checks on handover
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options

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.
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.
