The short version
Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Buckinghamshire 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.

What's included
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Powered door rules that apply in Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire is in England, 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.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Buckinghamshire are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Questions from businesses in Buckinghamshire
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Buckinghamshire?
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.
Will our door in Buckinghamshire 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.
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Buckinghamshire?
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.
