What our engineers check and fix

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.

Powered door rules that apply in Eccles

Eccles 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.

How the work is organised

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Eccles?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

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

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 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.
