How we look after doors in Cambridgeshire
- Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Cambridgeshire 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Questions from businesses in Cambridgeshire
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Cambridgeshire?
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 Cambridgeshire 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.
How soon can a door motor in Cambridgeshire be replaced?
Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
