Postcode district: AB42
Area: Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What the visit covers in Peterhead

Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Peterhead are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Access, phasing and timing

On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

Will our door in Peterhead be tested after the motor is changed?

Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Peterhead?

If the door itself is old, damaged or needs several other repairs, replacement can be better value. We price both where it makes sense, so you can weigh up the cost and remaining life honestly.

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.
