Industrial door motor replacement in London

At a glance

Replacing a door motor at a site in London is a chance to upgrade the control panel too, adding inverter control, remotes, loops or traffic lights at the same time.

Town: London
Postcode district: WC2N
Area: Greater London
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

Typical scopes of work

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in London

London 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.
