What's included

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

What this work can involve

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Powered door rules that apply in Putney

Putney 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Putney?

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 Putney costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

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

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 Putney 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.
