Town: Waterlooville
Postcode district: PO7
Area: Hampshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

What this work can involve

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Waterlooville

Waterlooville 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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Waterlooville: your questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Waterlooville?

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.

Will our door in Waterlooville 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.

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

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.
