- Guide price

What's included
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Fareham 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
