How we look after doors in Tewkesbury

Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.

What this work can involve

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Tewkesbury?

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.

How the work is organised

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.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Tewkesbury?

Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in Tewkesbury costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Tewkesbury?

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.
