What our engineers check and fix

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
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.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
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 Chesterfield 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.

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

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Derbyshire, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.

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

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.
