How we look after doors in South Ockendon

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Jobs we can carry out

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in South Ockendon?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Industrial door motor replacement in South Ockendon: your questions

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in South Ockendon?

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.

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Essex?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Essex, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in South Ockendon?

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.
