Quick answer
Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Ayrshire site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

- Guide price

What's included
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Powered door rules that apply in Ayrshire
Ayrshire is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Industrial door motor replacement in Ayrshire: your questions
Do you replace motors on any make of door across Scotland?
We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Scotland, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Ayrshire?
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.
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Ayrshire?
Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.
