What's included
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
- 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.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Jobs we can carry out
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Ross-on-Wye?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Ross-on-Wye?
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 Ross-on-Wye 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 Ross-on-Wye?
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.
