Industrial door motor replacement in Wilmslow

The short version

When the original motor on a door in Wilmslow (SK9) is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with the adapters it needs, set new limits and test closing forces before handover.

Town: Wilmslow
Postcode district: SK9
Area: Cheshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

What this work can involve

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.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Wilmslow?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Wilmslow 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.
