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. 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. A failed motor on an otherwise sound shutter is usually far cheaper to replace than the whole shutter.
Specification options
- Tube motors for domestic and shop shutters
- Obstacle detection options
- Direct-drive and chain motors for industrial doors
- Motors matched to curtain weight
- Safety checks on handover
- Limits set and tested

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.

Questions about shutter motor replacement in Washington
Do you cover Washington?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Washington. We also cover nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Hebburn.
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.
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.
