Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
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 England

Industrial doors in Newbury 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Newbury?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Newbury?

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.

Will our door in Newbury 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.
