How shutter motor replacement works, and what to ask for
Motors are matched to the curtain weight and barrel size, so an overloaded motor does not fail early. After a new motor is fitted, safety devices and limits are tested before handover. 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. We fit motors to most makes of shutter and door.
Options we can specify
- Key switch, remote and receiver upgrades
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Smart and timer control options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Limits set and tested
- Safety checks on handover

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.
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 Tyne and Wear
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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
