What the visit covers in Newquay

Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Newquay 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.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Newquay 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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Newquay: your questions

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Newquay?

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.

How soon can a door motor in Newquay 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.

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Newquay?

Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in Newquay costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
