What our engineers check and fix
- Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Walthamstow?
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.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Walthamstow are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Walthamstow?
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 Walthamstow 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.
