What our engineers check and fix

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

Examples of work we can quote for

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

Powered door rules that apply in Purley

Purley 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Questions from businesses in Purley

Will our door in Purley 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.

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

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.

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Greater London?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Greater London, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.
