In short

Replacing a door motor at a site in Devon is a chance to upgrade the control panel too, adding inverter control, remotes, loops or traffic lights at the same time.

Area: Devon
Nation: England
Main town: Exeter
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

What this work can involve

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
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 Devon?

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

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

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 the South West?

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

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 Devon costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
