Industrial door motor replacement in Prescot

Quick answer

Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Prescot 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: Prescot
Postcode district: L34
Area: Merseyside
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
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.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Prescot 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
