Town: Wickford
Postcode district: SS12
Area: Essex
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
