How we look after doors in Broadstairs

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

Jobs we can carry out

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

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

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.

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.

Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in Broadstairs costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

How soon can a door motor in Broadstairs 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.
