What's included

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Failsworth are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Access, phasing and timing

Service and repair visits in Failsworth 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 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.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Failsworth?

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.

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

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.
