Industrial door motor replacement in Aberystwyth

In short

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Aberystwyth site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

Town: Aberystwyth
Postcode district: SY23
Area: Dyfed
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Aberystwyth?

In Wales, 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

Service and repair visits in Aberystwyth 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.
