Area: Gwent
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.

What this work can involve

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Ebbw Vale 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.

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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Ebbw Vale: your questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Ebbw Vale?

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 Ebbw Vale?

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.

Will our door in Ebbw Vale 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.
