What the visit covers in Aberdare

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.

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.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Powered door rules that apply in Aberdare

Aberdare is in Wales, 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.

Questions from businesses in Aberdare

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Aberdare?

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.

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Aberdare?

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.

Will our door in Aberdare be tested after the motor is changed?

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.
