What our engineers check and fix

Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

Jobs we can carry out

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bexleyheath 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

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Bexleyheath?

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.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Bexleyheath?

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.

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

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 Bexleyheath costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
