Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What the visit covers in Torquay

Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Torquay 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.
