Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Potters Bar

Potters Bar 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Potters Bar?

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.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Potters Bar?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.

How soon can a door motor in Potters Bar be replaced?

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
