How we look after doors in Brixton

Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.

What this work can involve

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Powered door rules that apply in Brixton

Brixton 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Questions from businesses in Brixton

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

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 Brixton costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

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

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.

Will our door in Brixton be tested after the motor is changed?

Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.
