What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Tiverton 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

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.

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 Tiverton costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Tiverton?

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.
