What our engineers check and fix

Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.

Jobs we can carry out

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Ely

Ely 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

On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

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.

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.
