How we look after doors in Ealing
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Ealing 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.
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.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement
How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Ealing?
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 Ealing costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Ealing?
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 Ealing?
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.
