Industrial door motor replacement in Nairn

The short version

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Nairn 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: Nairn
Postcode district: IV12
Area: Highlands and Islands
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Examples of work we can quote for

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Nairn?

In Scotland, 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.

Planning the work around your site

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
