What our engineers check and fix

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
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.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.

What this work can involve

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Powered door rules that apply in Beckenham

Beckenham is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Frequently asked questions

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

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 Beckenham?

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 Beckenham costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Beckenham?

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.
