Industrial door motor replacement in Hayes

At a glance

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Hayes site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

Town: Hayes
Postcode district: UB3
Area: Greater London
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Hayes: your questions

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

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 soon can a door motor in Hayes be replaced?

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Hayes?

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.
