Industrial door motor replacement in Stevenage

At a glance

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Stevenage site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

Town: Stevenage
Postcode district: SG1
Area: Hertfordshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
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 Stevenage 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

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.
