What our engineers check and fix
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Questions from businesses in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Can you replace an obsolete door motor in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
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.
How soon can a door motor in the East Riding of Yorkshire be replaced?
Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
Is the motor really the problem with our door in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
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.
