How we look after doors in Hove

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Hove 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Service and repair visits in Hove 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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Hove: your questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Hove?

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 Hove 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.

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

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.
