How we look after doors in New Milton
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- 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.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
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.
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
- Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in New Milton?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Questions from businesses in New Milton
How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in New Milton?
Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in New Milton costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in New Milton?
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 New Milton 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.
