What's included

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Harlow 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

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.
