What the visit covers in Pimlico

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.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
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 Pimlico 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

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

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 Pimlico?

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 Pimlico costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

How soon can a door motor in Pimlico 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.
