How we look after doors in Ashton-under-Lyne

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

What this work can involve

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Ashton-under-Lyne?

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

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 Ashton-under-Lyne

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Ashton-under-Lyne?

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.

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

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

Will our door in Ashton-under-Lyne 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.
