Area: Clwyd
Nation: Wales
Main town: Wrexham
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
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.

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

In Wales, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Clwyd?

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.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Clwyd?

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.

Will our door in Clwyd 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.
