What our engineers check and fix

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

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.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Powered door rules that apply in Cambridge

Cambridge 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.

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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Cambridge: your questions

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Cambridgeshire?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Cambridgeshire, 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 Cambridge?

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 Cambridge?

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.
